Multiscale Computational Modeling of Multiphase Composites with Damage
(2013-11-01)A multiscale computational framework for multiphase composites considering damage is developed in this research. In micro-scale, micromechanics based homogenization methods are used to estimate effective elastic moduli ... -
On the Effects of Texture and Strain-Path Changes on the Ductile Fracture of Mg Alloys
(2016-07-05)Increasing need for weight reduction to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions makes Magnesium alloys ideal candidates for structural applications, notably in transportation. However, limited formability at room ... -
Performance of Plate Anchors
(2016-12-09)Suction Embedded Plate Anchors (SEPLA) are vertically loaded anchors which are installed by using a suction caisson to the required embedment depth. The cost effectiveness, ease of installation and the accuracy of the ... -
Upper Bound Analysis of Bearing and Overturning Capacities of Shallow Foundations in Soft Clay
(2013-12-03)This thesis presents a method to calculate the bearing and overturning capacity of a shallow foundation installed in soft clay using the upper bound method of plasticity. Mudmats are commonly used shallow foundations in ...
