Deepwater Soil Investigation using a Free Fall Penetrometer
Canadian geotechnical journal (Print), 2022 Free fall penetrometers (FFP) can improve the efficiency of deepwater geotechnical site investigations. This study investigates the derivation of geotechnical properties from piezocone FFP measurements in the upper 4 m of the seabed at a clayey site with

A Penetrometer for Quantifying the Surface Stiffness of Sport Sand Surfaces
Proceedings, 2020 Sand sports include running, volleyball, soccer, beach flags, ironman, and fitness training. An increased amount of soft tissue injuries have been widely reported. A novel technique of determining the surface stiffness of beach sand in-situ used a simple

Variations on the expertise of two attributes of physical soil due to differences in the method of global satellite navigation [PDF]
Engenharia Agrícola, 2016 The mechanical resistance to penetration when related to the water content is an indicator often used of soil compaction, the use of positioning methods for greater accuracy of this review is important.

Numerical simulation of a free fall penetrometer deployment using the material point method
Soils and Foundations, 2020 Free Fall Penetrometer (FFP) testing consist of a torpedo-shaped body freefalling into a soil target. The use of this type of device is becoming popular for the characterization of shallow sediments in near-shore and off-shore environments because it is ...

Shallow Penetrometer Penetration Resistance [PDF]
Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2015 Shallow penetrometers—such as the hemiball and toroid—were conceived as potential in situ testing devices with the ability to measure: (1) soil strength parameters during vertical penetration, (2) soil consolidation characteristics during dissipation tests postpenetration, and (3) interface friction during torsional loading.

Root anatomical traits contribute to deeper rooting of maize under compacted field conditions [PDF]
, 2020 © The Author(s) 2020. To better understand the role of root anatomy in regulating plant adaptation to soil mechanical impedance, 12 maize lines were evaluated in two soils with and without compaction treatments under field conditions.
