A generalized nonlinear three-dimensional failure criterion based on fracture mechanics
Based on fracture mechanics theory and wing crack model, a three-dimensional strength criterion for hard rock was developed in detail in this paper. Although the basic expression is derived from initiation and propagation of a single crack, it can be ...

Experimental investigation on the deformation characteristics of granular materials under drained rotational shear [PDF]
Rotational shear is the type of loading path where samples are subjected to cyclic rotation of principal stress directions while the magnitudes of principal stresses are maintained constant.

A novel elastoplastic model for Yunnan sandstone under poly-axial loading
The lack of understanding of plastic hardening (softening) laws, especially under anisotropic stress conditions, results in inappropriate geotechnical management.

A laboratory study of anisotropic geomaterials incorporating recent micromechanical understanding [PDF]
This paper presents an experimental investigation revisiting the anisotropic stress–strain–strength behaviour of geomaterials in drained monotonic shear using hollow cylinder apparatus. The test programme has been designed to cover the effect of material

ABSTRACT Undrained monotonic loading triaxial compression and extension tests were conducted on Toyoura sand. It was found that the shear behavior was more contractive and softer in triaxial extension than in triaxial compression. This difference suggests that the stress conditions, such as the direction of the principal stress and the magnitude of ...

Analysis of plastic zones in surrounding rocks around a circular tunnel considering the effect of intermediate principal stress and heterogeneity [PDF]
Based on a modified Mohr-Coulomb criterion with a non-uniform coefficient, a calculation method of plastic zone boundary of surrounding rocks in a circular tunnel in non-uniform stress field is established.

Focal mechanisms in the southern Aegean from temporary seismic networks – implications for the regional stress field and ongoing deformation processes [PDF]
The lateral variation of the stress field in the southern Aegean plate and the subducting Hellenic slab is determined from recordings of seismicity obtained with the CYCNET and EGELADOS networks in the years from 2002 to 2007.

Bond–slip Behavior of Fiber-reinforced Polymer/concrete Interface in Single Shear Pull-out and Beam Tests [PDF]
It has been assumed that the fiber-reinforced polymer/concrete interface is subjected to in-plane shear condition when intermediate crack debonding failure occurs.
