The Dynamic Properties of Sand under Torsion: A Literature Review
Resonant column (RC) and the torsional simple shear (TOSS) tests have shown proven competency in acquiring precise and repeatable measurements regarding the shear modulus and damping ratio of soil.

Effects of grain size distribution on the initial strain shear modulus of calcareous sand [PDF]
The soil’s small strain shear modulus, Gmax or G0, is applied in dynamic behavior analyses and is correlated to other soil properties (density and void ratio) for predicting soil dynamic behavior under seismic loadings such as earthquakes, machinery or ...

Influence of load interval on dynamic properties of subgrade fill in cold regions
The real simulation of vehicle loads is the key to studying the dynamic behaviors of subgrade fill in cold regions. Considering the time interval between adjacent vehicles, a series of dynamic triaxial tests with continuous and intermittent cyclic ...

Resonant Acoustic Determination of Complex Elastic Moduli [PDF]
A simple, inexpensive, yet accurate method for measuring the dynamic complex modulus of elasticity is described. Using a 'free-free' bar selectively excited in three independent vibrational modes, the shear modulus is obtained by measuring the frequency ...

A Study of Mechanical Property of Artificial Frozen Clay under Dynamic Load
To determine the mechanical properties of artificial frozen clay under dynamic load, 81 triaxial shear tests were carried out for artificial frozen clay at different temperatures, amplitudes, frequencies, and precompressions and three kinds of testing ...

Anomaly of the Internal Friction in the Helium Crystals Grown in the Burst-like Growth Mode
The internal friction in the crystals grown in two modes, namely, slow and anomalously fast (burst-like growth) modes, is measured in the temperature range 0.49-0.75K at a frequency of about 75kHz.
