• Sand fabric evolution effects on drain design for liquefaction mitigation 

      Bouckovalas, G. D.; Papadimitriou, A. G.; Niarchos, D. G.; Tsiapas, Y. T. (2011)
      This paper revisits the seminal work of Seed and Booker (1977) [21] on the design of infinitely permeable drains for liquefaction mitigation. It is shown that their basic mathematical assumption for the rate of earthquake-induced ...
    • A second gradient elasto-plastic model for fatigue of small-scale metal components 

      Stamoulis, K.; Giannakopoulos, A. E. (2010)
      Purpose - As the dimensions of structures are scaled down to the micro- and nano-domains, the mechanical behavior becomes size dependent and thus, the classical elasticity solutions cannot be expected to hold. In particular, ...
    • Steel elbow response under strong cyclic loading 

      Varelis, G. E.; Gresnigt, A. M.; Karamanos, S. A. (2012)
      The present study examines the behavior of steel pipeline elbows subjected to strong cyclic loading conditions. A set of experiments is conducted where in-plane cyclic bending with constant amplitude is applied on the elbow ...
