A fully coupled computational framework for fluid pressurised crack evolution in porous media (2019)
Journal Article
Hardcastle, A., Mousavi Nezhad, M., Rezania, M., Tizani, W., & Gamage Ranjith, P. (2019). A fully coupled computational framework for fluid pressurised crack evolution in porous media. Journal of Porous Media, 22(8), 939-956. https://doi.org/10.1615/jpormedia.2019025665

This paper presents a computational framework for modelling hydraulic fracture on the basis of combining continuum porous media and damage theories. By considering the continuum as two separate domains of damaged and intact porous domains, model comp...

Ultimate strength and fracture sequence of bolted connections to thin-walled carbon steel (2019)
Journal Article
Mahmood, M., Elamin, A., & Tizani, W. (2020). Ultimate strength and fracture sequence of bolted connections to thin-walled carbon steel. Structures, 23, 646-659. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.istruc.2019.11.011

© 2019 Institution of Structural Engineers Recent experimental studies on single shear bolted connections to thin-walled carbon steel indicated the need for parametric analysis to understand the behaviour of the connection. In this paper, finite elem... Read More about Ultimate strength and fracture sequence of bolted connections to thin-walled carbon steel.

Analysis of Extended Hollo-Bolt Connections: Combined Failure in Tension (2019)
Journal Article
Cabrera, M., Tizani, W., Mahmood, M., & Shamsudin, M. F. (2020). Analysis of Extended Hollo-Bolt Connections: Combined Failure in Tension. Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 165, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcsr.2019.105766

This paper investigates the combined failure mode of the Extended Hollo-Bolt (EHB) and the effect of the column thickness on the tensile behaviour of the blind fastener. A three-dimensional Finite Element (FE) model was developed, validated against e... Read More about Analysis of Extended Hollo-Bolt Connections: Combined Failure in Tension.

Integrated parametric multi-level information and numerical modelling of mechanised tunnelling projects (2019)
Journal Article
