Exploring the effects of stress history on the drained and undrained cyclic behaviour of granular materials. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barreto, D. (2011, January). Exploring the effects of stress history on the drained and undrained cyclic behaviour of granular materials. Paper presented at 5th International Conference on Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering (5-ICEGE)

This paper presents the results of 3D DEM simulations of granular materials subject to cyclic loading. While both the drained and undrained conditions are considered, the effects of depositional history and consolidation stress history on the stress-...

Numerical Simulation of Drain Performance in Liquefiable Soils (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bouckovalas, G., Dimitriadi, V., Tsiapas, Y., & Tsioulou, A. (2011, January). Numerical Simulation of Drain Performance in Liquefiable Soils. Paper presented at 5th International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering, Santiago, Chile

Modern approaches for the design of drains for liquefaction mitigation are based on the work of Seed and Booker (1977) for infinitely permeable drains and uniform soil with purely horizontal drainage. More recently, Bouckovalas et al. (2009) revisite... Read More about Numerical Simulation of Drain Performance in Liquefiable Soils.

ISIR: Informed sensitised intelligent response-A PSS conceptual design framework using service characteristics (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hussain, R. S., Lockett, H., Kingston, J., Alcock, J., & Vasantha, G. (2010, October). ISIR: Informed sensitised intelligent response-A PSS conceptual design framework using service characteristics. Presented at APMS 2010 International Conference: Competitive and Sustainable Manufacturing, Products and Services, Cernobbio, Italy

This paper considers two dominant definitions of services in the service literature and then proposes a set of service characteristics which have been derived from Service Dominant Logic. These characteristics are then used to chart the differences a... Read More about ISIR: Informed sensitised intelligent response-A PSS conceptual design framework using service characteristics.
