Further Research into the Rational Selection of φ for Bearing Capacity Analysis under Drained-Streng

The primary purpose of the study reported in Horvath (2000) was to present a new, rational analytical algorithm developed by the author for the end result of calculating the gross ultimate geotechn...

UFOs Osborne Reynolds and the One Wind a New Look at an Old Theory

This paper shows how Osborne Reynolds" Inversion of Ideas on The Structure of the Universe" can be used to explain Relativistic and Quantuum Phenomena. Equivalence of inertial and gravitational ma...

SOLID PROPELLANTS FRACTURE CRITERION

Fracture of solid composite propellants is function of both time and state of stress. A method enabling the computation of fracture time for any type of loading, static or dynamic, uniaxial or mult...

Numerical simulation of explosives and gun powder

A microcomputer software has been developed for simulating the dynamical mechanical behaviour of non-linear materials, such as viscoplasticity and fracture. The computing method is based on finite ...
