The Invalidity of the Laplace Law for Biological Vessels and of Estimating Elastic Modulus from Total Stress vs. Strain: a New Practical Method [PDF]
The quantification of the stiffness of tubular biological structures is often obtained, both in vivo and in vitro, as the slope of total transmural hoop stress plotted against hoop strain. Total hoop stress is typically estimated using the "Laplace law."

Assessment of rating parameters of the rock mass conditions at Udachny underground mine deep levels
Geotechnical rating classification systems of rock masses are an important tool in the design of underground mining systems. They are especially relevant at the early stages of project development, when primary mining and geological information is ...

Analysis of engineering properties of rock mass of Shah-wa-Arus dam site, Kabul, Afghanistan
After a catastrophic decline in the water level at the end of the 20th century, the formation of a new delta of the river Syrdarya has begun. The modern delta of the river is located within the Kazalinsk and Aral regions in Kyzylorda oblast.
