Interactive application
AvailableVersion 0.2.0Calculate the factor of safety or the external force needed to restrain a dry rock wedge. Explore its geometry, vary friction and cohesion, and reproduce independently checked examples.
Application and manual in Portuguese.
Interactive application
In developmentAn application in development to explore how gabion geometry affects ground vibration and compare promising configurations within practical constraints.
About the tool in developmentMethods, examples and verification for our research tools.
Formulation, inputs, worked examples and independent comparisons for the rock-wedge calculator. First edition · November 2026 · Portuguese.
Trace a result back to its inputs, numerical method and software version, and repeat the calculation.
Adapt research codes to new questions, with clear authorship, licensing and citation information.
Use tutorials, worked examples and accessible explanations to connect mechanics with research, classroom learning and engineering practice.
Applications & downloadable codes
Each software release will identify its version, authors, scientific scope and supporting checks. Documentation and reproducible examples will accompany links to the source code and versioned downloads.
Where we archive a release, its persistent identifier will provide a stable reference for citation. Updates will have their own release records, so an earlier calculation can still be traced to the code used.
