Slope Stability Assessment Based on Limit Analysis

Most of the research findings in evaluating slope stability using limit analysis are chart-based. No such stability chart is available to cover a wide range of material strength, slope geometries and external disturbance. Practitioners find it difficult to use the charts for a specific slope project. Compared with a large number of existing...

Model order reduction for large scale finite element engineering models

Software MOR for ANSYS has been developed at IMTEK in 2003. It allows us to perform model reduction directly to finite element models developed in ANSYS. The goal of the present paper is to describe progress achieved for the last two years and review our publications with application of MOR for ANSYS to various engineering problems for different...
