A numerical study of the suitability of rigid inclusion ground reinforcement beneath caisson quay walls by Holmwood, Andrew Graham

“…Apart from their brittle behaviour under lateral loading, rigid inclusions are well suited to the large uniform loads and stringent post-construction deflection tolerances associated with container terminal structures. …”

Design and implementation of a high strain Town rate biaxial tension test for elastomeric materials and biological soft tissue by Graham, Aaron

“…The mechanical properties of biological tissue such as skin are relatively well known at low strain rates and strains, but there is a paucity of data on the high rate, high strain behaviour of skin - particularly under biaxial tension. Biaxial tensile loading mimics in vivo conditions more closely than uniaxial loading [1, 2], and is necessary in order to characterise a hyper-elastic material model[3]. …”

Performance evaluation of a communication network by Ncube, Ariage T

“…The througput parameter is represented by the percentage of the output traffic to the load offered from the network of terminals. The performance of the Network Administrator system is also modeled, focusing particularly on the automatic restoration of service to failed NCs through downloading of operating software sets over the X.25 network. …”

Fatigue Behaviour of CFRP Strengthened Reinforced Concrete Beams by James, Valontino Ruwhellon

“…The performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, such as bridges in the heavy haul industry, may be severely impacted by fatigue when subjected to repeated cyclic loading. Fatigue not only reduces load carrying capacity and serviceability limit states (SLS), but it can cause structural failure even when the components are subjected to low stress range cyclic loading. …”
