Application of Hilbert instantaneous spectrum on improved bolt anchoring quality detection
A method utilizing a way to compute the instantaneous frequency curve of the bolt signal is proposed to overcome the phase folding problem existing in the Hilbert transform spectrum. The instantaneous frequency curve of the signal can help accurately identify the reflected signal from the bolt bottom and the position of the defect, thus accurately ...

Abstract The seismic performance of integral abutment bridges (IABs) is affected by the interaction with the surrounding soil, and specifically by the development of interaction forces in the embankment‐abutment and soil‐piles systems. In principle, these effects could be evaluated by means of highly demanding numerical computations that, however, can ...

Formation and growth of multiple, distinct ice lenses in frost heave
Abstract This paper presents a fully coupled thermo‐hydro‐mechanical (THM) model which simulates frost heave in fully saturated soils. The model is able to simulate the formation and growth of multiple distinct ice lenses. The basic equations of the system were derived using the continuum theory of mixtures, nonequilibrium thermodynamics, and fracture ...

Abstract A two‐phase velocity‐pressure stabilized formulation is proposed for the numerical analysis of mechanized excavations in partially saturated soft soils using the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM). The fully coupled formulation is based on the theory of porous media in association with the Soil Water Characteristic Curve and the porosity ...
