This paper aims to contribute to the three-dimensional generalization of numerical prediction of crack propagation through the formulation of finite elements with embedded discontinuities. The analysis of crack propagation ...

The stability graph method is widely used for open stope mine design. During the development of the method the effect of induced stresses were included by using two-dimensional or limited three-dimensional stress analysis. ...

Theoretical developments for hydrodynamic instability analysis are often based on eigenvalue problems, the size of which depends on the dimensionality of the reference state (or base flow) and the number of coupled equations ...

It is presented in this paper a three-dimensional Boundary Element Method (BEM) implementation of the Energy Domain Integral for the fracture mechanical analysis of three-dimensional interface cracks in transversely isotropic ...

The temporomandibular joints and associated muscles allow the mandible to move in the three planes (sagittal, frontal and horizontal), in this way the jaw can perform complex mandibular movements. For several decades, ...
