Dynamic critical behavior of failure and plastic deformation in the random fiber bundle model
, 2002 The random fiber bundle (RFB) model, with the strength of the fibers distributed uniformly within a finite interval, is studied under the assumption of global load sharing among all unbroken fibers of the bundle. At any fixed value of the applied stress (

Modeling water penetration at dam-foundation joint [PDF]
, 2007 When fracture occurs in a concrete dam, the crack mouth is typically exposed to water. Very often this phenomenon occurs at the dam-foundation joint and is driven also by the fluid pressure inside the crack.

The use of point load test for Dubai weak calcareous sandstones
Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2015 Intact rock is typically described according to its uniaxial compressive strength (UCS). The UCS is needed in the design of geotechnical engineering problems including stability of rock slopes and design of shallow and deep foundations resting on and/or ...

Temperature effect on the mechanical behavior of shale: Implication for shale gas production
Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022 Deformational shale attributes such as fracture toughness, tensile strength, and axial point load strength (PLS) index under elevated temperatures are crucial for the petroleum and gas industries. Here, an attempt has been made to investigate the thermal

Influence of bond stress-slip relationship on bond strength prediction [PDF]
, 2015 The study of the bond stress-slip relationship of FRP (fibre reinforced polymer) adhered to concrete has been a key point to understand the bond behaviour of externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) and near surface mounted (NSM) systems.
