On the physical meaning of equivalent skeleton void ratio for granular soil with fines [PDF]
Recent research on the behavior of silty sand usually involves the use of equivalent skeleton void ratio to characterize its packing density state. The equivalent skeleton void ratio is a modified void ratio by the introduction of a parameter b to account for the participation of fines in the force chains. However, the parameter b is poorly understood.

Investigating the Simultaneous Effect of Suction and Silt Percentage on the Critical State Shear Strength of the Unsaturated Silty Sand [PDF]
In this study, the critical state shear strength of a type of sand with different silt percentages in saturated and unsaturated states has been investigated. For this purpose, a number of undrained consolidated (CU) and drained consolidated (CD) triaxial

Caustic Skeleton & Cosmic Web [PDF]
We present a general formalism for identifying the caustic structure of an evolving mass distribution in an arbitrary dimensional space. For the class of Hamiltonian fluids the identification corresponds to the classification of singularities in ...
