Author:Resende, Luís Nuno da CostaDate:1984The major objective of the work presented in this thesis was the development of a constitutive model for hard rock at high pressure. The model should capture the important features of material behaviour and should be soundly based on mechanical ...Read more
Author:Resende, Luís Nuno da CostaDate:1980A computer programme NONPRI, has been developed for the analysis of three dimensional skeletal assemblages consisting of non-prismatic members. It is capable of static and dynamic analysis of structures consisting of members whose constitutive ...Read more
Author:Burger, B BDate:1987Localization studies arise from the need to accurately model the behaviour of materials which exhibit instabilities due to strain softening or geometric effects. Localization in finite element modelling of brittle materials such as concrete ...Read more
