1. Mechanical and Hydromechanical Behaviour of Hard Rock Joints. A laboratory study
Abstract : As a consequence of rock engineering works, the rock mass will deform due to stress changes. Most deformation occurs in the rock joints, in form of normal and shear strains. These deformations will also change the void geometry and thereby the joint aperture and fluid flow. READ MORE

2. Three-Dimensional Load-Deformation Relationships of Arbitrarily Loaded Coiled Springs
Abstract : This paper reports the development of a computer based tool that can be used to predict the three-dimensional load-deformation relationships of arbitrarily loaded coiled springs. The non-linear deformation of the spring is calculated by dividing the spring into small elements for which the load-deformation relationships can be considered to be linear. READ MORE

3. New Methods for Reducing Ground-Borne Noise in Buildings above Railway Tunnels
Abstract : The rapid expansion of major cities in the west Europeancountries has accentuated the need to exploit every potentialsite for new establishments, e.g. areas over train tunnels andnear railway tracks in general. READ MORE

4. Non-invasive assessment of dynamic properties in human arteries : with special reference to gestation and diabetes
Abstract : Background: The important role played by the intrinsic properties of central arteries in cardiovascular physiology and pathology has been increasingly recognised. Several circulatory disorders are associated with increased arterial stiffness. READ MORE

5. Numerical modelling of jointed rock masses by distinct element method for two- and three-dimensional problems
Abstract : The mechanical behaviour of a jointed rock mass is strongly, and sometimes dramatically, affected by the behaviour of the discontinuities present in jointed rock mass. In many cases, preferential failures are dominated or defined by the natural discontinuities present in the neighborhood of engineering engineering works. READ MORE
