A new nonlinear fracture analysis framework is developed for the mode-I and II fracture response of thick-section fiber reinforced polymeric (FRP) composites. This framework employs 3D micromechanical constitutive models for the nonlinear material behavior along with cohesive el…

In recent years, causewayed enclosures have come to be regarded as being ceremonial or ritual sites. This classification is derived from a perceived lack of evidence pertaining to domestic settlement, in the form of houses and 'typical' domestic animal bone assemblages, and a pe…
The analysis of fracture toughness test data from standard specimens is often based upon the assumptions of planar crack fronts and homogenous material properties. However, these assumptions do not hold true for all test geometries or real components. The overall objective of th…
The Arab-D Formation of the Ghawar Field, Saudi Arabia, is the most prolific oil producing formation in the world, relative to both volume and productivity. Cumulative oil production from Ghawar, through 2003, exceeded 55 billion barrels, and maximum field production rate has ex…
The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of martensite plasticity on the deformation and fracture behaviour of an intercritically annealed commercial low carbon (0.06 wt.%) dual phase steel. The volume fraction and the morphology (banded and almost equiaxed) of …
This study develops new quantitative thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) techniques for fracture and fatigue damage analysis of composite materials. The first part deals with the thermo-mechanical derivation of two quantitative TSA techniques applied to orthotropic composites wi…
This research especially helps for the design of concrete structures which has to last at least for 100 years such as bridges. The research aims to give a better prediction of long-term deformations of concrete and improve the structure design based on these predictions. The acc…
The purpose of this study was to assess whether neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES), walkability, and green space impacts fall and fracture incidence among postmenopausal women, and to assess important modifiers for these relationships, such as fall history, physical activit…
