T. M. Bodas Freitas, Auteur ; D. M. Potts, Auteur ; L. Zdravkovic, Auteur |A discrepancy has been identified in existing overstress theory based elastic-viscoplastic models regarding the definition of the Φ function, which determines the magnitude of the viscoplastic strain increment. Based on existing experimental dat[...]

N. Kovacevic, Auteur ; R. J. Jardine, Auteur ; D. M. Potts, Auteur |This paper describes advanced finite-element simulations of a geologically active and periodically unstable 700 m high underwater escarpment located in the Gulf of Mexico that has been created by uplifting salt diapirs combined with sediment dep[...]

S. Kontoe, Auteur ; L. Zdravkovic, Auteur ; D. M. Potts, Auteur |This paper compares simple constitutive models that are widely used in engineering practice with more sophisticated methods in the context of a case study. In particular, four constitutive modelling approaches have been considered: a simple elas[...]
