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: Soft connective tissues sustain large strains of viscoelastic nature. The rate-independent component is frequently modeled by means of anisotropic hyperelastic models. The rate-dependent component is usually modeled through ...

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 ...

Abstract: This study compares electrocoagulation and chemical precipitation for heavy metals removal from acidic soil saline leachate (SSL) at the laboratory pilot scale. The electrocoagulation process was evaluated via an electrolytic ...
