Comparison and application of small strain shear moduli from field and laboratory measurements
The small-strain shear modulus plays an important role in the calculations of ground seismic response and deformation in deep excavations. The values of the small strain shear modulus G0 of Shanghai soils by field and laboratory tests are investigated ...

The Invalidity of the Laplace Law for Biological Vessels and of Estimating Elastic Modulus from Total Stress vs. Strain: a New Practical Method [PDF]
The quantification of the stiffness of tubular biological structures is often obtained, both in vivo and in vitro, as the slope of total transmural hoop stress plotted against hoop strain. Total hoop stress is typically estimated using the "Laplace law."

Small-strain shear modulus of calcareous sand under anisotropic consolidation [PDF]
In this study, the small-strain shear modulus of a calcareous sand was investigated by conducting bender element tests on both horizontal and vertical planes. The effects of sample preparation method, stress path and stress history on the developing of void ratio, the parameters in the modified Hardin Equation, and the stiffness anisotropy were ...

Beyond linear elasticity: Jammed solids at finite shear strain and rate [PDF]
The shear response of soft solids can be modeled with linear elasticity, provided the forcing is slow and weak. Both of these approximations must break down when the material loses rigidity, such as in foams and emulsions at their (un)jamming point ...

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.
