Abstract: In this paper, a relationship among the Lamé stress ellipsoid and the Culmann and Mohr circles for a tensor is introduced. This new view allows for a very simple graphical proof of the latter and gives them a sharper ...

Abstract: A fully nonlinear finite-element (FE) model is developed to investigate the impact of hysteretic and viscous material behavior on the downhole motion recorded by an array at a large-scale seismic test site in Lotung, Taiwan, ...

Abstract: A 3D finite-element model is developed to study soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects at a Large-Scale Seismic Test (LSST) site in Lotung, Taiwan, during the earthquake of May 20, 1986. Analyses are carried out by direct ...
