Numerical modelling of onshore wind turbine gravity foundations susceptible to cyclic soil degradation by Seymour, Steven

“…Cyclic degradation refers to the phenomenon in which the stiffness of soil decreases progressively when subjected to cyclic loading. This reduction in soil stiffness occurs due to deterioration of the soil microstructure, as well as accumulation of excess pore water pressure, with the extent of it being largely dependent on the shear strain level in the soil and the number of loading cycles. …”

Multiscale modelling of sutures in a high-performing biological protective structure: the turtle shell by Alheit, Benjamin

“…However, the effect of sutures in such loading scenarios is not well understood. We address this by using computational models of turtle shells where special attention is paid to the influence of the network of sutures. …”

Finite element model updating of concrete arch dams affected by alkali-silica reaction using ambient vibration monitoring and dam surveillance data by Nyoni, Bukhosi

“…Additionally, structural behaviour analysis through numerical models such as finite element (FE) models, is a crucial aspect of dam safety evaluations that allows dam safety engineers to predict the current and future behaviour of dams under various load combinations. …”
