3-D analysis of one-strut failure in braced excavation by Tan, Pei Qi.

“…The strut failure level was designated at either the 3rd layer or the 5th layer, in a 5 layer strutting system. The shear strength of the deeper clay layer was varied for better understanding of the excavation site.Comparing the data from the three-dimensional analysis, the plane strain analysis resulted in a slight overestimation of the results. …”

Elastic-plastic fracture mechanics investigation on two interacting cracks by Lee, Jonathon Zhao Feng

“…The first step is to find the relationship of a crack and inclusion whereby it is found that the CTOD of the crack will increase with the increase in crack size and the impact of Poisson’s ratio, shear modulus ratio, radius of inclusion, and the crack-inclusion distance on fracture properties was also found. …”

Unique composition and evolutionary histories of large low velocity provinces by Panton, J, Davies, JH, Koelemeijer, P, Myhill, R, Ritsema, J

“…Using simulations of 3-D global mantle circulation over the past 1 Gyr, we find that two antipodal LLVPs develop naturally as a consequence of Earth’s recent subduction history and the gravitational settling and stirring of SOC. Shear-wave velocity reductions in the two LLVPs are similar due to the dominating influence of temperature over composition. …”

Dynamic behavior of reinforced concrete beams under varying rates of concentrated loading by Adhikary, Satadru Das, Li, Bing, Fujikake, Kazunori

“…Three-dimensional finite element (FE) models of RC beams have been described and verified with the experimental results, followed by a parametric study to investigate the influence of the longitudinal reinforcement ratio, the transverse reinforcement ratio and the shear span to effective depth ratio. Empirical equations are proposed in terms of various parameters to predict the Dynamic Increase Factor (DIF) of maximum resistance of RC beams under varying loading rates.…”
