Abstract Deep soil mixing method (DSM) is a novel in situ technology improvement which different cementitious materials are mixed with and form soil-cement column improved engineering characteristics. Due to the configurations of these columns, types DSM formed, such as wall type, grid block etc. expansion construction massive industrial structures, use type control settlements has grown. In or...

Two centrifuge tests on a quay wall and cantilevered retaining with saturated granular backfills were simulated using Finn-Byrne model. Capabilities of model in liquefaction analysis the evaluated. The subjected to horizontal acceleration time history vertical history. constitutive is linear elastic – perfectly plastic Hooke’s elasticity Mohr-coulomb criterion for yield surface assumed backfill...

The present study considers an elastic-plastic contact analysis during loading-unloading of a deformable sphere with a rigid flat using finite element method. The effect of strain hardening on the contact behavior of a nonadhesive frictionless elastic-plastic contact is analyzed using commercial finite element software ANSYS. To study the strain hardening effect different values of tangent modu...

The Richtmyer-Meshkov instability of interfaces separating elastic-plastic materials from vacuum (heavy-light configuration) is studied by means of computational techniques. A fully Eulerian multimaterial algorithm that solves consistently the Euler equations and the time evolution of the deformations in the material is applied to three distinct materials (copper, aluminum, and stainless steel)...

Introduction. "See and treat" one-stop clinics (OSCs) are an advocated NHS initiative to modernise care, reducing cancer treatment waiting times. Little studied in plastic surgery, the existing evidence suggests that though they improve care, they are rarely implemented. We present our experience setting up a plastic surgery OSC for minor skin surgery and survey their use across the UK. Methods...
