Modelación numérica del concreto simple con elementos finitos mediante la teoría de la plasticidad y la función de fluencia de Hu y Schnobrich Numerical modeling of the simple concrete with finite elements by means of the plasticity theory and yielding function of Hu and Schnobrich by Luis Rodríguez, Dorian Linero

“…This model is based on the general formulation of the theory of plasticity (Simó & Hughes 1998), considering a non-associated flow rule, where the plastic potential is defined by the failure criterion and von Mises and yield function corresponds to empirical approaches developed by Hu and Schnobrich (1989). …”

Maintenance Therapy for Inflammatory Bowel Disease: What Really Works by Lloyd R Sutherland

“…Until a cure can be found, strategies to lengthen the period of remission offer the greatest opportunity to reduce morbidity and enhance patient quality of life. Therapies that have been shown in randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trials to either lengthen the time of remission or improve the odds of staying in remission during a set time interval are required.…”
