Rapid growth of mining activities parallel with recent technological progresses in this field has led to continuous production of great amounts of mining waste. Tailings dams are constructed to safely store these materials ...

The high rate of failure in tailings dams reflects the inadequacy of conventional stability and seepage analyses for evaluating their performance, especially during their construction. In this article, the hydro-mechanical ...

In this paper, nonlinear finite element method was applied to evaluate welding residual stresses in box columns. In this study, thermal and mechanical analysis of weld was carried out to investigate the residual stresses. The thermal analysis...

A thick walled rotating spherical object made of transversely isotropic functionally graded materials (FGMs) with general types of thermo-mechanical boundary conditions is studied. The thermo-mechanical governing equations ...
