Not only will the sunken plane create the perfect skeleton for artificial reef growth, but authorities hope this new underwater attraction will bring tourists to the area.
Conclusions:This model may be applied for the study of morphologic characteristics and changes induced by growth, orthodontic treatment and orthognathic operation on middle sagittal plane.
Shear band formation due to void nucleation and growth were successfully simulated in a specimen of geomaterial under plane stress compression and tension by the model respectively.
