Control of cracking in concrete by steel reinforcement : an examination of some of the mechanisms involved
… variation and complexity of the materials and stress interactions involved, the problem has to date defied completely objective theoretical modelling. The finite element method provides a powerful new modelling tool for theoretical simulation of complex real problems. Recent developments on …

Investigation of the performance of flexible pavement systems under moving loads using finite element analyses
… has not been evaluated. In previous studies, the stress interactions between each tire of a triple-dual-tandem (TDT) axle used on B-777 and A380 aircraft cannot be captured using a two-dimensional model. In addition, many of these studies have assumed a linear-elastic material behavior of the …

Accelerated viscoelastic characterization of T300/5208 graphite- epoxy laminates
… uniaxial load using discrete steps in stress. The viscoelastic response of T300/5208 graphite-epoxy at 149C to transverse normal and shear stresses is determined using 90-deg and 10-deg off-axis tensile specimens, respectively. parameters In each case the seven viscoelastic material …

Physiological and Morphological Responses to Drought Stress in Different Cultivation Environments in Wild Type and ABA-deficient Barley
… as plants in the field often experience multiple stresses simultaneously, I investigate the interaction between drought stress in spring barley and herbivory by the sap-sucking aphid herbivore Rhopalosiphum padi and the chewing mollusc herbivore Cornu aspersum. I particularly focus on the role of …

Improving statistical seismicity models
… earthquake triggering process, including static stress interactions and dynamic stress transfer. Significant differences of these mechanisms are particularly expected in the spatial distribution of aftershocks. However, testing the different hypotheses is challenging because it requires the …

Interactions between oxidative stresses in corn
… Ozone is the prototypical inducer of oxidative stress, which involves reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, scavenging and signaling, and is a major form of plant stress present in field conditions during crop production. Previous work has shown the importance of the plant's detoxification …

Controlling role of suction stress in the Atterberg limits
… role of water in soil behavior. Suction stress governs the Atterberg limits, and variations in suction stress behavior dictate transitions in soil consistency. Specifically, internal soil stress interactions that generate suction stress control the liquid and plastic limits, and …
