Analysis of bender element test interpretation using the discrete element method

Granular Matter, 2015
While bender element testing is now well-established as a laboratory technique to determine soil stiffness, a robust technique to interpret the data remains elusive. A discrete element method (DEM) model of a face-centred cubic packing of uniform spheres was created to simulate bender element tests to investigate this test from a fundamental ...

On the Lightweight Potential of Laser Additive Manufactured NiTi Triply Periodic Minimal Sheet Lattices

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores the lightweight potential of laser additive‐manufactured NiTi triply periodic minimal surface sheet lattices. It systematically investigates the effects of relative density and unit cell size on surface quality, deformation recovery, compression behavior, and energy absorption.

Zein‐Based Adhesives: Sustainable Extraction and Application in Bioadhesive Technologies

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Zein is extracted from corn gluten meal using a simple and scalable process with high yield (~90%). The resulting protein is applied in bioadhesives modified with Ca2+ and Fe3+ ions, exhibiting substrate‐dependent adhesion. The findings demonstrate competitive bonding performance and highlight the role of ionic interactions in tuning adhesion ...

A Numerical–Experimental Approach for Multi‐Matrix Fiber‐Reinforced Plastics Characterization Using Finite Element Model Updating

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A numerical–experimental framework is developed for characterizing multi‐matrix fiber‐reinforced polymers (MM‐FRPs) combining epoxy and polyurethane matrices. Harmonic bending tests are integrated with finite element model updating (FEMU) to simultaneously identify elastic and viscoelastic material parameters.

Measurements of Shear Wave Velocity for Collapsible Soil

Geotechnics
This paper examines the effects of collapsible soil structure on shear wave velocity. The study attempts to simulate hydraulic fill sand deposits, which represent a natural soil deposition process that can result in a collapsible soil structure. A series

Elastic parameters of intermediate soils based on bender-extender elements pulse tests

, 2011
International audienceThe elastic behaviour of compacted soils subjected to very small strains (smaller than 10 －5) is essential, because the serviceability of most geotechnical structures depends on soil elastic properties.

Soil disturbance evaluation of soft clay based on stress-normalized small-strain stiffness

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
Soil disturbance includes the change of stress state and the damage of soil structure. The field testing indices reflect the combined effect of both changes and it is difficult to identify the soil structure disturbance directly from these indices.
