Advances in laboratory geophysics using bender elements [PDF]
, 2006 Bender element transducers are used to determine the small-strain shear stiffness,G0, of soil, by determining the velocity of propagation of mechanical waves through tested samples. They are normally used in the laboratory, on their own or incorporated in geotechnical equipment such as triaxial cells or oedometers.Different excitation signals and ...

Tracking degradation of argillaceous rocks using bender elements
, 2011 The results of a comprehensive experimental program focused on the study of progressive degradation processes on a low permeability argillaceous rock induced by hydraulic cycles is presented in the paper. Relative humidity cycles were applied with vapour transfer technique, and bender elements were used to evaluate the evolution of shear stiffness ...

Practical experience of bender-extender elements
, 2003 This paper deals with a rather short practical experience of the use of bender elements (2000-2002) and since 2002, of bender-extender elements at the Research Institute in Civil and Mechanical Engineering (GéM). The bender-extender elements are piezo-ceramics transducers set up into a conventional triaxial cell.

On the feasibility of mounting bender elements in a flexible wall permeameter
, 2018 Zoned embankment dams comprise some of Canada’s largest and most important infrastructure. A phenomenon that has emerged in recent times as a matter of concern for dam safety risk management is seepage-induced internal erosion in embankment dams and their foundations.
