Automated multi-electrode resistivity systems now allow rapid and efficient data acquisition of electrical resistivity measurements to address a wide range of hydrogeological, geotechnical and environmental problems. In this work, a flexible data acq... Read More about Data Acquisition and Control Software for Automated Resistivity Measurements.

Data Acquisition Software for Controlling Serial Ports with Cloud Data Storage (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Asquith, J., & Toll, D. (2014). Data Acquisition Software for Controlling Serial Ports with Cloud Data Storage. In D. G. Toll, H. Zhu, A. Osman, W. Coombs, X. Li, & M. Rouainia (Eds.), Information Technology in Geo-Engineering (163-169). https://doi.org/10.3233/978-1-61499-417-6-163

A common requirement of laboratory and field data collection is for automated data logging software to control instrumentation and report on the results. Large projects may require a range of different instrumentation each with its own preferred meth... Read More about Data Acquisition Software for Controlling Serial Ports with Cloud Data Storage.

Fabric anisotropy & DEM informed two-surface hyperplasticity: constitutive formulation, asymptotic states & experimental validation (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Coombs, W., & Crouch, R. (2014). Fabric anisotropy & DEM informed two-surface hyperplasticity: constitutive formulation, asymptotic states & experimental validation. In K. Soga, K. Kumar, G. Biscontin, & M. Kuo (Eds.), Geomechanics from micro to macro : IS-Cambridge 2014, 1-3 September, Cambridge, UK ; proceedings (777-782)

In geotechnical analysis continuum idealisations of the bulk material still provide the most appropriate approach for engineers designing large-scale structures. In this area, the most successful framework for describing the behaviour of soils is Cri...

Rotationally invariant distortion resistant finite-elements (2014)
Journal Article
Cowan, T., & Coombs, W. (2014). Rotationally invariant distortion resistant finite-elements. Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 275, 189-203. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cma.2014.02.016

The predictive capability of conventional iso-parametric finite-elements deteriorates with mesh distortion. In the case of geometrically non-linear analysis, changes in geometry causing severe distortion can result in negative Jacobian mapping betwee...
