Abstract: The influence of material anisotropy and friction on ring deformation has been examined in relation to the distribution of normal pressure and frictional shear stress, deformed ring shapes, and ...

Abstract: A new model is presented for characterizing the response of soils within the boundary zone around piles. The proposed concept provides for a continuous variation of soil properties with smooth transition into the outer ...

Abstract: Flexural collapse loads of eccentrically loaded, individual column footings were investigated using Yield Line Theory. It was found that the cantilever failure mechanism recommended by the AC! Building Code does not give ...

Abstract: Free vibrations of an initially straight elastic bar having free-free or clamped-free ends are analyzed by assuming that the bar is undergoing inextensional motion and that shearing effects and ...

Abstract: Thermomechanical behavior of solder interconnections of a ceramic column grid array package assembly is characterized by high sensitivity moiré interferometry. The in situ thermal deformations of ...
