Measuring and modelling deformation during the Dabbahu (Afar) rifting episode [PDF]
, 2010 In September 2005, a 60-km-long dyke intruded the Dabbahu segment of the Nubia-Arabia plate boundary (Afar, Ethiopia), marking the beginning of an ongoing rifting episode.

The creep behavior of simple structures with a stress range-dependent constitutive model [PDF]
, 2012 High temperature design remains an issue for many components in a variety of industries. Although finite element analysis for creep is now an accessible tool, most analyses outside the research domain use long standing and very simple constitutive models

Correlation of microseismic and chemical properties of brittle deformation in Locharbriggs sandstone [PDF]
, 2003 The time-dependent properties of ceramic materials such as rocks depend both on preexisting cracks and chemical properties acting at their tips. We have examined the direct effect of chemical processes on the growth of a crack population by carrying out ...

A new sinusoidal shear deformation theory for bending, buckling, and vibration of functionally graded plates [PDF]
, 2013 A new sinusoidal shear deformation theory is developed for bending, buckling, and vibration of functionally graded plates. The theory accounts for sinusoidal distribution of transverse shear stress, and satisfies the free transverse shear stress ...

Permeability evolution during progressive development of deformation bands in porous sandstones [PDF]
, 2003 Triaxial deformation experiments were carried out on large (0.1 m) diameter cores of a porous sandstone in order to investigate the evolution of bulk sample permeability as a function of axial strain and effective confining pressure. The log permeability
