Evaluating the maximum shear modulus (G0) for different bender-soil coupling loads [PDF]
The current paper aims to test the effects of vertical loads on the maximum shear modulus (G0). The tests were undertaken with unsaturated soils in unconfined conditions.

The maximum shear modulus of expansive soil during wetting-drying processes and its prediction
In order to examine the dynamic characteristics of expansive soil in natural environment, the maximum shear modulus of undisturbed and remoulded Nanyang expansive soil specimens were tested by using a triaxial apparatus equipping with a pair of bender ...

Effect of Mean Grain Size on the Small-Strain Dynamic Properties of Calcareous Sand
Calcareous sand was selected as the prior material for island reclamation in many coastal regions. The mechanical properties of the granular materials are greatly affected by their grain size distribution conditions.

Shear modulus of hydrate bearing calcareous sand-fines mixture [PDF]
This article presents a laboratory study on the maximum shear modulus of a THF hydrate bearing calcareous sand (CS)–fines mixture. The maximum shear modulus was inferred from the shear wave velocity measured from the bender elements installed in a ...

Introduction: While shear modulus has been used as an index of muscle elongation, high costs prevent its general adoption. A more general indicator that can quantify muscle elongation non-invasively is needed to develop effective methods for stretching ...

Detecting age-related changes in skeletal muscle mechanics using ultrasound shear wave elastography
Aging leads to a decline in muscle mass and force-generating capacity. Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) is a non-invasive method to capture age-related muscular adaptation.

Experimental study on dynamic shear characteristics of loess under cyclic torsional shearing
The unsaturated intact loess has remarkable structured properties. Its structure is damaged by wetting and cyclic shear action, which leads to the development of shear and subsidence deformation of loess under earthquake.
