Contributions to the design of precast concrete culverts with unusual cross sections
Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2021 Culverts are structures used in road and railway infrastructure works such as underpasses. Among the several forms of cross-sections, the rectangular one (box culvert) has been mostly employed.

Models of stress fluctuations in granular media
, 1997 We investigate in detail two models describing how stresses propagate and fluctuate in granular media. The first one is a scalar model where only the vertical component of the stress tensor is considered.

Probabilistic Analysis of Tunnel Liners [PDF]
, 1996 The use of probabilistic methods to analyse reliability of structures is being applied to a variety of engineering problems due to the possibility of establishing the failure probability on rational grounds.

Hyperelastic Starch Hydrogel Configures Edible and Biodegradable All‐Components for Soft Robots
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Hyperelastic starch hydrogel is tailored via a phase separation strategy of solvent‐antisolvent co‐modulation. The mechanical performance of starch hydrogel is widely tuned with maximum strains: 194.4–361.4%; maximum tensile stresses: 34–192 kPa; and Young's moduli: 36.0–205.8 kPa. Notably, the hydrogel achieves complete soil degradation within 24 days

A computational toy model for shallow landslides: Molecular Dynamics approach
, 2012 The aim of this paper is to propose a 2D computational algorithm for modeling of the trigger and the propagation of shallow landslides caused by rainfall. We used a Molecular Dynamics (MD) inspired model, similar to discrete element method (DEM), that is
