The inflation of planar thin films represents a phenomenon widely employed by engineering and biological systems, with applications ranging from pressure sensors material characterization to growing skins in the human body. In this paper, bulging plane circular membranes composed isotropic elastoplastic materials is analytically, computationally experimentally studied. An analytical finite stra...

In this paper, results obtained in both conventional and finite element analysis of straight and belled anchor shafts subjected to a pullout force are presented. In numerical analysis, it is assumed that no drainage takes place during the anchor pullout. Comparisons between two conventional methods of analysis for ultimate pullout load and the results obtained by the finite element analysis are...
