This paper examines the undrained vertical bearing capacity of a ring rough footing
embedded in heterogeneous soil. Stability solutions for a wide range of geometric and …

The non-coaxiality of the directions of principal stresses and principal plastic strain rates in
granular soils under stress rotations has long been observed and recognized in soil tests …

A mechanistic understanding of morphogenesis in biology, the fabrication of advanced meta
surfaces with specific functionalities and structures with enhanced energy dissipation often …

The influence of a non-coaxial model for granular soils on shallow foundation analyses is
investigated. The non-coaxial plasticity theory proposed by Rudnicki and Rice (J. Mech …

This paper gives a bibliographical review of the finite-element methods (FEMs) applied to
the analysis and simulation of rubber and rubber-like materials. It is a continuation of the …

Employing repeating unit cell (RUC) to represent the microstructure of periodic composite
materials, this paper develops a numerical technique to calculate the plastic limit loads and …

In this paper, a nonlinear numerical technique is developed to calculate the limit load and
failure mode of structures obeying an ellipsoid yield criterion by means of the kinematic limit …

Using a Representative volume element (RVE) to represent the microstructure of periodic
composite materials, this paper develops a non‐linear numerical technique to calculate the …

A novel, non-coaxial soil model is developed in the context of perfect plasticity for the plane
strain condition whilst incorporating initial soil strength anisotropy. The anisotropic yield …

Knowledge of in situ stress magnitude and orientation plays a very important role in
geological/geotechnical engineering and in the development of energy resources, such as …
