Cyclic behaviour of reinforcement, concrete (both normal and fibre reinforced) modeling based on fracture energy, bond slip relations between concrete and steel reinforcement have been incorporated.
The so-called standard reinforcing model exhibits non-monotonic behavior in compression.
The present composites-based approach leads to a modification of the standard reinforcing model in which monotonic behavior in compression is observed.
In the first model reinforced concrete is modelled as a homogenised material using an isotropic Drucker Prager yield criterion.
The generality of this conclusion is reinforced by model 3.
Over the five years of collaboration, these factors and the positive results achieved built greater trust which in turn reinforced the model.
Goal-directed and habitual behaviors have been examined in BED using the Two-step task which assesses whether individuals make choices based on the likely affective outcomes (model-based) or based on previously reinforced choices (model-free).
Tendon has also been modelled akin to a fibre reinforced composite; modelling the fibrils and surrounding tissue to study crimp formation (Herchenhan et al. 2012) and the effects of microstructure on Poisson's ratio (Reese et al. 2010).

So far, fMRI studies of psychopaths have only reinforced different models of psychopathy that were in place before fMRI became popular, theories that Kiehl studied while pursuing a doctorate in Hare's lab at the University of British Columbia.
Similarly, several lines of evidence coming from molecular data and cell biological observations reinforced autogenous models for the origin of the peroxisome.
