FEM Simulation of Non-Progressive Growth from Asymmetric Loading and Vicious Cycle Theory: Scoliosis Study Proof of Concept
Download2010
Fok, Jonathan W., Carey, Jason P., Adeeb, Samer
Scoliosis affects about 1-3% of the adolescent population, with 80% of cases being idiopathic. There is currently a lack of understanding regarding the biomechanics of scoliosis, current treatment methods can be further improved with a greater understanding of scoliosis growth patterns. The...

Progressive failure analysis of windrow induced slope movements at the Syncrude Limited mine site
Download1997
Chan, D. H., Mathioudakis, M., Morgenstern, N. R.
The presence of Marine Sediments below the operating bench in the Syncrude Canada Limited oil sand mine (NE Alberta, Canada) has negatively affected dragline mining operation. Any material that exhibits strain softening behaviour is prone to progressive failure. The Marine Clays at the Syncrude...
