Modeling Biocemented Sands: Hypoplastic Model for MICP‐Based Ground Improvement
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bio‐cementation offers a sustainable and low‐carbon alternative to conventional ground improvement methods, aligning with the growing demand for green geotechnical solutions. To enable reliable numerical simulation of bio‐cemented soil behavior in engineering applications, advanced constitutive models are required to account for the effects of

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This work presents a general framework for deriving the Young–Laplace equation and the Young's equations for an axisymmetric capillary bridge between two parallel plates by minimizing the system's total energy. These Young's equations naturally emerge as boundary conditions associated with the Young–Laplace equation.

Overshooting of Hypoplastic Models With Intergranular Strain: Manifestation, Implications and Remedy
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Intergranular strain extensions of hypoplasticity (IGS, ISA, GIS) are widely used to model small‐strain and cyclic soil behaviour. However, recent studies and our own simulations reveal that these models can exhibit stress overshooting not only under repeated small loading cycles but also during monotonic loading.

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study proposes a novel geometrically regularized gradient‐damage model for simulating dynamic mixed‐mode fracture in orthotropic materials with tension–compression asymmetry. In this model, a thermodynamic framework is formulated by incorporating damage dissipation into internal energy evolution, from which the constitutive relation and ...

Tactical and Strategic Risks From Supply Disruptions in Competing Supply Chains
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT Supply chain disruptions can lead to both tactical (i.e., loss of short‐term sales during a disruption) and strategic (i.e., loss of long‐term market share) consequences. We model the impact of a supply disruption on competing supply chains in which two firms compete for a limited backup supply.
