OverviewAI-generated summary

James Michael Duncan's research has focused on soil mechanics and slope stability, with early work examining the nonlinear analysis of stress and strain in soils and elastoplastic stress-strain theory for cohesionless soil. He has also investigated finite element analyses of retaining wall behavior and explored the state of the art in limit equilibrium and finite-element analysis of slopes. His publications in this area include "Nonlinear Analysis of Stress and Strain in Soils" (1970), "Elastoplastic Stress-Strain Theory for Cohesionless Soil" (1975), "Finite Element Analyses of Retaining Wall Behavior" (1971), "State of the Art: Limit Equilibrium and Finite-Element Analysis of Slopes" (1996), and "Passive Earth Pressures: Theories and Tests" (2001).

More recently, Duncan's work has extended into the field of cardiovascular health, specifically investigating surgical interventions for descending thoracic aneurysms. His publication "Surgical Experience in Descending Thoracic Aneurysmectomy with and without Adjuncts to Avoid Ischemia" (1985) addresses this area. Additionally, his research has touched upon psychological and health-related topics, as seen in "Helicopter Parenting and Emerging Adult Self-Efficacy: Implications for Mental and Physical Health" (2016).

Duncan holds a strong academic record, evidenced by an h-index of 50 and over 269 publications, accumulating more than 12,500 citations. He has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Timothy S. Killian and M. E. Betsy Garrison, with whom he shares multiple publications. He remains an active researcher.
