Stress singularities, annihilations and invisibilities induced by polygonal inclusions in linear elasticity
Notches, wedges, cracks, sti?eners, inclusions and defects in plane elastostatics are known to generate singular stresses and limit the overall strength of a composite material. In the present thesis, after showing experimentally that the singular stress ?eld predicted by the linear elastic …

Forward and inverse problems in mechanics: from a single to thousands of interacting bodies
… inverse problem of identifying hidden voids or rigid inclusions in an elastic body using measurements of the surface deformation in response to a prescribed surface loading. This framework combines recent advances in machine learning with level-set methods and the equations governing the …

A numerical study of the suitability of rigid inclusion ground reinforcement beneath caisson quay walls
… objective of this study was to determine whether rigid inclusions are suitable for reinforcement of the foundation of a caisson quay wall functioning as a container terminal. Apart from their brittle behaviour under lateral loading, rigid inclusions are well suited to the large uniform loads and …

Examination of a Semi-Analytic Finite Element for Plate Bending Problems
… and with any variation of loading or flexural rigidity, including plates with holes or rigid inclusions, may be solved. In developing the computer program, various schemes were implemented to reduce the influence of errors inherent in the beam eigenfunctions and for the reduction of computer …

Effective elastic properties of two -dimensional solids with inhomogeneities of irregular shapes
… of this method to regularly shaped elastic inclusions, holes and rigid inclusions produces results that correspond well with the available analytical predictions. In the case of holes, the applicability of the finite element method is also investigated. The expressions for the effective …

Kinematic evolution, metamorphism, and exhumation of the Greater Himalayan Series, Sutlej River and Zanskar regions of NW India
… focus is given to the rotational behavior of rigid inclusions suspended in a flowing viscous matrix from a theoretical perspective. Predictions of clast rotational behavior have been used to construct several kinematic vorticity estimation techniques that have become widely adopted for …

Lateral response of stiff column-supported shallow foundations
The mechanisms that control the lateral response of stiff column-supported shallow foundations, resulting from the application of horizontal load on shallow foundations supported by stiff columns, are uncertain. Stiff columns constructed in soft clayey soil have been used to support retaining walls …
