Calibration of an elastoplastic model of sand liquefaction using the swarm intelligence with a multi-objective function

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2023
According to post-seismic observations, spectacular examples of engineering failures can be ascribed to the occurrence of sand liquefaction, where a sandy soil stratum could undergo a transient loss of shear strength and even behave as a “liquid ...

Research on micro-influence mechanism of fine particles on dynamic characteristics of graded macadam materials in heavy-haul railway subgrade beds

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials, 2023
Fine particle content is an important physical state parameter of graded macadam materials used in heavy-haul railway subgrade beds. Understanding the micro-influence mechanism of the fine particle content on the filler’s dynamical characteristics is of ...

Compression‐Tension‐Asymmetry and Stiffness Nonlinearity of Collagen‐Matrigel Composite Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐assembled collagen hydrogel matrices are widely used in tissue engineering applications. These matrices stiffen and contract laterally under tension due to fiber alignment and soften and collapse under compression due to fiber buckling. It is demonstrated that filler materials, such as Matrigel, linearize the mechanical behavior of collagen ...

Triaxial compression tests on a crushable sand in dry and wet conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A calcareous sand from the Persian Gulf is subjected to a series of dry and fully drained saturated triaxial shear tests. The samples are prepared at relative densities of 65% and either left dry or saturated. They are consolidated to confining pressures

Evolution of the Damping Ratio Considering Cyclic Confining Pressure Under Intermittent Cyclic Loading

open access: yesBuildings
The damping ratio is essential to conducting dynamic analysis for underground engineering under traffic loading. Variations in the damping ratio are usually studied using cyclic triaxial tests with continuous cyclic loading; however, intermittent loading
