The problem of accuracy of predictions of pre-failure deformations of granular soils is considered. Firstly, the deterministic incremental equations describing qualitative character of such deformations are presented. These equations are based on extensive experimental data, obtained from the tri-ax

β¦ Synopsis
The mechanical failure of ceramic materials is usually characterised by probability equations based on Weibull's weakest link theory. To evaluate these for components in a varying stress field, postprocessors have been developed by us as well as others. The effect of the errors which arises from the postprocessing on the fractional errors in the nominal failure load, the probability of failure or the probability of survival are found and discussed.

When using the method of deconvolution to establish an IVIVC model, the choice of whether or not to average the data before analysis is a crucial one. Averaging the data leads to a loss of information and current advice on best practise suggests that deconvolution take place at the individual subjec
