    • Cyclic thermo-mechanical material modelling and testing of 316 stainless steel 

      Leen, Sean B. (Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2010-04-20)
      A programme of cyclic mechanical testing of a 316 stainless steel, at temperatures of up to 600 C under isothermal conditions, for the identification of material constitutive constants, has been carried out using a ...

    • Evaluating the structural capacity of concrete elements through in-situ instrumentation 

      Byrne, David; Goggins, Jamie (2013)
      The difficulty in predicting the long term load capacity of concrete elements is well documented. Time dependent effects such as creep and shrinkage coupled with varying loading events, particularly during construction, ...

    • Modelling stone column installation in an elasto-viscoplastic soil 

      McCabe, Bryan A.; Sexton, Brian G. (Taylor & Francis, 2014-12-31)
      The majority of numerical studies investigating stone column performance have used “wished-in-place” columns (no installation effects) in conjunction with elastoplastic soil models (no viscous effects). In the first part ...

    • A physically-based creep damage model for effects of different precipitate types 

      Ó. Murchú, C.; Leen, Sean B.; O'Donoghue, Padraic; Barrett, Richard A. (Elsevier, 2016-10-13)
      The development of a new precipitate coarsening continuum damage mechanics (CDM) model to simulate the multi-precipitate strengthening mechanisms present in 9Cr steels under high temperature creep deformation is presented ...

    • Stone column effectiveness in soils with creep: a numerical study 

      Sexton, Brian G.; McCabe, Bryan A. (Taylor & Francis, 2016-03-16)
      While it is well established that vibro stone columns reduce primary settlement and improve bearing capacity, their effect on creep compression has largely been overlooked to date. However, with increasing pressure to ...

    • Stone column settlement performance in structured anisotropic clays: the influence of creep 

      Sexton, Brian G.; McCabe, Bryan A.; Karstunen, Minna; Sivasithamparam, Nallathamby (Elsevier, 2016-07-15)
      The recently developed elasto-viscoplastic Creep-SCLAY1S model has been used in conjunction with PLAXIS 2D to investigate the effectiveness of vibro-replacement in a creep-prone clay. The Creep-SCLAY1S model accounts for ...

    • Viscoelastic creep of FRP reinforced glulam 

      O’Ceallaigh, Conan; Sikora, Karol; McPolin, Daniel; Harte, Annette M. (NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)
      The reinforcement of timber using fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) rods or plates is widely accepted as an effective method of increasing the strength and stiffness of members, while at the same time reducing the variability ...
