Comparison of epoch and uniaxial versus triaxial accelerometers in the measurement of physical activity in preschool children : a validation study [PDF]
, 2012 The objectives of this Study were to explore whether triaxial is more accurate than uniaxial accelerometry and whether shorter sampling periods (epochs) are more accurate than longer epochs. Physical activity data from uniaxial and triaxial (RT3) devices

The prediction and back analysis of excavation behaviour in Oxford Clay. [PDF]
, 1996 The work described in this thesis involved the prediction and back-analysis of ground movements and pore water pressures around a temporary excavation, lOm deep, 105m long and 35m wide (50m long and lOm wide at its base) in the heavily overconsolidated

Design and fabrication of a low cost true triaxial cell for testing multiple size specimens
, 2012 Only a true triaxial cell has the ability to recreate 3D in situ stress conditions. Therefore a true triaxial cell was designed and fabricated. The cell was calibrated to ensure the lateral strains on the specimen were known during testing, and a ...

Shearing tests with continuously increasing normal stress [PDF]
, 2006 In the conventional shearing tests the normal force or the normal stiffness are kept constant during the experiment. Sliding under constant normal load occurs in slopes if the environment is not changing during the process.

The influence of membranes on tests of coarse-grained materials at low cell pressures
, 2014 In triaxial tests on small specimens of sands/silts and clays, cell pressures are usually greater than 100 kPa and membranes are relatively thin (~0.3 mm).
