... importance that nonlinear finite element analyses are based on a validated methodology. This paper presents a validated methodology with statistically calibrated failure (fracture) criteria providing either a characteristic or mean level of capacity/response for the detailed finite element assessment...

...) investigated in wave basin the reshaping of beach nourishment realized in the form of a series (39) of sand groins, effectively remodeled by wave action. In conclusion, the experimental studies available provide suffi- cient information to calibrate the numerical models for distributed nourishments...

...S. Bang; H. Han; R.J. Taylor Single segmented mooring lines were tested in a geotechnical centrifuge for the purpose of calibrating the analytical solution developed for the analysis and design of various mooring lines associated with underwater drag/permanent anchors. The model mooring lines...

... of icing to provide the experimental icing rate data. The icing rates measured on 12.5-mm and 35-mm cables are then compared with the number of IRM signals per hour in relation to initial ice load, temperature, wind velocity and direction. From this analysis, a better calibration for the IRM instrument...
