Assessment of Pohang Earthquake-Induced Liquefaction at Youngil-Man Port Using the UBCSAND2 Model
The practical constitutive model UBCSAND2, which combines two-mobilized planes—a maximum shear stress plane and a horizontal plane within a framework of classical plasticity approach—is used to incorporate shear-induced effects in both loading and ...

Investigation of Monotonic and Cyclic Behavior of Soft Clay Using Direct Simple Shear Apparatus
The purpose of this research was to study the monotonic and cyclic simple shear mode behavior of Bangkok clay, using direct simple shear apparatus. The monotonic specimens were prepared in a saturated condition and were K0 consolidated before being ...

Cyclic simple shear tests on saturated sand in multi-directional loading
ABSTRACT Several series of multi-directional undrained simple shear tests were performed on saturated sand specimens, using a simple shear test device incorporating two pnumatic cyclic loaders in two mutually perpendicular horizontal directions.

Effect of grain disorientation on early fatigue crack propagation in face-centred-cubic polycristals: A three-dimensional dislocation dynamics investigation [PDF]
Three-dimensional dislocation dynamics simulations are used to study micro-crack interaction with the first micro-structural barrier in face-centred cubic bi-crystals loaded in high cycle fatigue conditions. In the examined configuration, we assumed that

Numerical and experimental analysis of the leaning Tower of Pisa under earthquake [PDF]
Twenty years have passed from the most recent studies about the dynamic behavior of the leaning Tower of Pisa. Significant changes have occurred in the meantime, the most important ones concerning the soil-structure interaction.

Characterization of the material response in the granular ratcheting [PDF]
The existence of a very special ratcheting regime has recently been reported in a granular packing subjected to cyclic loading \cite{alonso04}. In this state, the system accumulates a small permanent deformation after each cycle.

ABSTRACT Textured platens are often used to improve the transfer of shear stresses from the platens to the soil specimen during direct simple shear (DSS) tests. However, constant-volume DSS tests when textured platens are used can be affected by inadequate engagement of the soil at the platen-soil interface, leading to large reductions ...

Strain range dependent cyclic hardening of 08Ch18N10T stainless steel-experiments and simulations [PDF]
This paper describes and presents an experimental program of low-cycle fatigue tests of austenitic stainless steel 08Ch18N10T at room temperature. The low-cycle tests include uniaxial and torsional tests for various specimen geometries and for a vast ...
