Modelling strong seismic ground motion: three-dimensional loading path versus wavefield polarization [PDF]
Seismic waves due to strong earthquakes propagating in surficial soil layers may both reduce soil stiffness and increase the energy dissipation into the soil.

Experimental study on pull-out resistance of plate anchors at different buried depths
The plate anchor is widely used because of its good bearing characteristics, but the bearing characteristics are different at different buried depths. In order to study the tensile bearing characteristics of the anchor plate, a self-developed visualized ...

Universal and wide shear zones in granular bulk flow [PDF]
We present experiments on slow granular flows in a modified (split-bottomed) Couette geometry in which wide and tunable shear zones are created away from the sidewalls.

Nonlinear Shear Waves in Compressible Media: Occurrence of Strong Shocks
Apparently for the first time, shear shock wave fronts (shear shocks) are observed in a hyperfoam at the propagation of shear waves. The hyperfoam is modelled by the Ogden compressible hyperelastic potential. A possible appearance of the shear shocks may

The problem of dynamic cavitation in nonlinear elasticity [PDF]
The notion of singular limiting induced from continuum solutions (slic-solutions) is applied to the problem of cavitation in nonlinear elasticity, in order to re-assess an example of non-uniqueness of entropic weak solutions (with polyconvex energy)

Computational Models of Material Interfaces for the Study of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a noninvasive treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal ailments. A shock wave is generated in water and then focused using an acoustic lens or reflector so the energy of the wave is concentrated in a small ...
