โœฆ Synopsis

The generalised plane state assumption is examined in order to assess its ability to represent in a simplified fashion three-dimensional effects in the behaviour of planar masonry structures subjected to in-plane loads. Realistic failure mode and load-bearing capacity predictions for various loading directions are verified using homogenisation techniques by building failure loci under proportional loading. When introduced in a homogenisation scheme, the resulting macroscopic continuum presents itself in a two-dimensional format, suggesting the use of generalised plane state in multiscale approaches where three-dimensional effects have to be taken into account.

It has been demonstrated experimentally that porous silicon can be used to enhance the sensitivity, spectral bandwidth, and light acceptance angle of photodiodes. A three-dimensional model was used to approximate the surface geometry of porous silicon. It was found that the main contributing factor
