Upper Bound Finite Element Limit Analysis of Pullout Characteristics of Normal-Stressed Circular Anchor Plate

open access: yesGeofluids, 2022
In this paper, the pullout factor and failure mode of circular anchor plate at an inclined angle with the horizontal ground under the normal stress are studied with the method of the upper bound finite element limit analysis. The effects of soil cohesion,

Failure Mechanism and Slope Factors for a Footing Resting on Slopes

open access: yesMagazine of Civil Engineering, 2021
The behaviour of a footing affected significantly with the presence of the slope. The effect of slope on the bearing capacity, slope factor, and failure mechanism has been explored using limit analysis.

Effect of grain size distribution on the shear properties of sand

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials, 2023
In this study, we investigated the effect of particle size distribution on the shear properties of sand. Direct shear tests were conducted using four types of sand samples with different particle size distributions obtained from standard sand produced by

Multifluid Eulerian modeling of dense gas–solids fluidized bed hydrodynamics: Influence of the dissipation parameters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models must be thoroughly validated before they can be used with confidence for designing fluidized bed reactors.

Three-Dimensional Combined Finite-Discrete Element Modeling of Shear Fracture Process in Direct Shearing of Rough Concrete–Rock Joints

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
A three-dimensional combined finite-discrete element element method (FDEM), parallelized by a general-purpose graphic-processing-unit (GPGPU), was applied to identify the fracture process of rough concrete–rock joints under direct shearing.

Frictionless bead packs have macroscopic friction, but no dilatancy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The statement of the title is shown by numerical simulation of homogeneously sheared packings of frictionless, nearly rigid beads in the quasistatic limit. Results coincide for steady flows at constant shear rate γ in the limit of small γ

Experimental Determination of Cohesion and Internal Friction Angle on Conventional Concretes

open access: yesACI Materials Journal, 2017
Various failure criterions have been used for the nonlinear analysis of concrete and reinforced concrete structures. To get more accurate results from the analyses, the selected failure criterion must be appropriate with the characteristics of problem and the assumptions made in the criterion should comply with the characteristics of problem.

Reply to the discussion by Ganesh on “Analysis of passive earth pressure modification due to seepage flow effects" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Using an assumed vertical retaining wall with a drainage system along the soil–structure interface, this paper analyses the effect of anisotropic seepage flow on the development of passive earth pressure.

Food waste impact on municipal solid waste angle of internal friction

open access: yesWaste Management, 2011
The impact of food waste content on the municipal solid waste (MSW) friction angle was studied. Using reconstituted fresh MSW specimens with different food waste content (0%, 40%, 58%, and 80%), 48 small-scale (100-mm-diameter) direct shear tests and 12 large-scale (430 mm × 430 mm) direct shear tests were performed.

Finite element modelling and experimental study of oblique soccer ball bounce [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In this study, we develop a finite element model to examine the oblique soccer ball bounce. A careful simulation of the interaction between the ball membrane and air pressure in the ball makes the model more realistic than analytical models, and helps us
