Shaping the human face: Periosteal bone modeling across ontogeny
Abstract Facial morphology is a defining aspect of Homo sapiens that distinguishes our species from fossil ancestors and plays a central role in estimating age, sex, and ancestry in both past and present populations. Understanding how the face develops during postnatal ontogeny is essential for interpreting adult facial variation.

Model tests of soil heave plug formation in suction caisson
An experimental study of the formation of the soil heave plug inside a concrete caisson during installation in clay under suction is presented. The soil heave plug, the amount of caisson penetration and the vacuum pressure applied were measured during ...

Field trials of suction caissons in clay for offshore wind turbine foundations
A programme of testing of caisson foundations in clay at the Bothkennar test site is described. The tests are relevant to the design of foundations for offshore wind turbines, in the form of either monopod or tetrapod foundations. Records are presented for installation of the caissons, cyclic moment loading under both dynamic and quasi-static ...

Simplified Model for the Stiffness of Suction Caisson Foundations Under 6 DOF loading
Suction caisson foundations are increasingly used as foundations for offshore wind turbines. This paper presents a new, computationally efficient, model to determine the stiffness of caisson foundations embedded in linearly elastic soil, when subjected to six degree-of-freedom loading; vertical (V), horizontal (Hx, Hy), overturning moment (Mx, My) and ...

ABSTRACT This study presents an experimental investigation into the influence of anchor–soil interaction on the dynamic behaviour of tension leg platform (TLP)–type floating wind turbines. A 1/100 scale model of the NREL 5‐MW reference wind turbine was fabricated using a 3D printer, with scaling parameters determined based on Froude scaling laws to ...
