In this paper a typical soilstructure interaction problem is considered, the case of a vertical pile installed in sand and submitted to an axial compression loading. Results from two full scale pile tests are analysed and the tests are... more
In this work, a macroelement for shallow foundations on sands has been developed based on the theory of hypoplasticity. The incrementally nonlinear constitutive equations of the macromodel are defined in terms of generalized forces and... more
The study developed in this work is focused on constitutive modelling of saturated and unsaturated granular soils from the state parameters point of view. The Generalized Plasticity constitutive equation has been extended in order to... more
The non-linear mechanical behaviour of porcine brain tissue in large shear deformations is determined. An improved method for rotational shear experiments is used, producing an approximately homogeneous strain field and leading to an... more
Constitutive models based on the multilaminate framework provide an alternative framework to more common formulations in terms of stress invariants. The basic feature of multilaminate models, namely the consideration of various... more
