Deformation characteristics of saturated remolded loess under cyclic traffic loads
To study the deformation laws of saturated remolded loess under the rotation of principal stress axis, the cyclic triaxial tests and cyclic traffic load tests on the saturated remolded loess under drainage are carried out by using the hollow cylinder ...

Principal Stress Rotation under Bidirectional Simple Shear Loadings [PDF]
Previous researches have indicated the non-coaxiality of sand in unidirectional simple shear tests, in which the direction of the principal axes of stresses does not coincide with the corresponding principal axes of strain rate tensors. Due to the limitation of apparatus that most of testing facilities can only add shear stress in one direction, the ...

Estimate of differential stress in the upper crust from variations in topography and strike along the San Andreas fault [PDF]
The major bends of the San Andreas fault in California are associated with significant variations in the along-fault topography. The topography-induced perturbations in the intermediate principal stress may result in the rotation of the fault with ...

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.

Incremental response of a model granular material by stress probing with DEM simulations [PDF]
International audienceWe use DEM simulations on a simple 2D model of a granular material to test for the applicability of elastoplasticity (yield criterion, flow rule) to the response to stress increments of arbitrary directions.

Physical controls and depth of emplacement of igneous bodies: A review [PDF]
International audienceThe formation and growth of magma bodies are now recognised as involvingthe amalgamation of successive, discrete pulses such as sills. Sills wouldthus represent the building blocks of larger plutons (sensu lato).
