Evaluation of liquefaction potential of soil deposits using artificial neural networks

Adel M. Hanna, Derin Ural, Gokhan Saygili

In the literature, several empirical methods can be found to predict the occurrence of nonlinear soil liquefaction in soil layers. These methods are limited to the seismic…

Large deflections of laminated beams with interlayer slips: Part 1: model development

P. Krawczyk, F. Frey, A.P. Zieliński

This paper aims to present development of a layer‐wise (LW) beam model for geometric nonlinear finite element analysis of laminated beams with partial layer interaction.

Large deflections of laminated beams with interlayer slips: Part 2: finite element development

P. Krawczyk, B. Rebora

This paper aims to discuss selected components of finite element (FE) implementation of the modelling approach proposed in Part 1 of this paper. To put forward a simple and…
