Dynamics of sliding mechanisms in nanoscale friction
… inappropriate due to the small dimensions of the sliding elements and the lack of excessive plastic deformation. This thesis presents a theoretical investigation of friction at the sliding interface by Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations of ideal Lennard-Jones solids. The effect of the interfacial …

Deployable structures
… (making emphasis in the scissor-hinged and sliding mechanisms.) and the development of new geometries, details, and mechanisms that make these systems buildable and useful for architectural applications. A deployable structure is one that can be transformed, with the addition of an energy …

Analyzing internal shearing in compound landslides using MPM
… shearing is essential to develop feasible sliding mechanisms. The internal distortion is caused by the formation of shear bands that develop within the sliding mass. The strain localization is generally attributed to slope changes along the basal sliding surface (or topography) that …

Slope stability analysis and landslide susceptibility assessment on the SE foot slopes of Mt Cameroon
… to their geometry, causative factors, triggering mechanisms, relationship between triggering factors and landslide occurrence, and the susceptibility of any area to mass wasting phenomena. This thesis presents an inventory and thorough analysis of small–scale devastating landslides that occurred …
