Abstract: Delays and cost overruns in India’s public infrastructure projects often stem from legal and contractual disputes exacerbated by a complex legal framework. This study investigates key challenges, including ambiguous contract ...

Abstract: The purpose of this brief paper is to present a new derivation of Biot's theory of linear poroelasticity (Biot, M., 1935, “Le Problemجپe de la Consolidation des Matiأ©res Argileuses Sous une Charge,â€‌ Ann. Soc. Sci. ...

Abstract: Approximate constitutive equations are proposed for use in the analysis of the rate-dependent deformation of metals at temperatures in excess of a homologous temperature of 0.5. The constitutive ...

Abstract: It is shown that the classical strain-energy function of infinitesimal isotropic elasticity is in good agreement with experiment for a wide class of materials for moderately large deformations, ...

Abstract: This paper presents simple analytical solutions to predict the temporal and spatial distribution of concentrations in one, two, or three‐dimensional fully saturated uniform flow fields caused by instantaneous or finite‐time ...
