Constitutive behavior of Port-Said Clay under seismic and small strain static conditions
Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2018 Port-Said Clay is very soft to firm clay deposited in the delta of an old tributary of the Nile at the east of Port-Said, Egypt. Despite the detailed characterization carried out for Port-Said Clay, no tests were carried out to measure its seismic or ...

Effects of grain size distribution on the initial strain shear modulus of calcareous sand [PDF]
, 2015 The soil’s small strain shear modulus, Gmax or G0, is applied in dynamic behavior analyses and is correlated to other soil properties (density and void ratio) for predicting soil dynamic behavior under seismic loadings such as earthquakes, machinery or ...

Direct measurement of shear modulus at low frequencies and small strains
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2009 In many applications, one needs to measure elastic moduli of materials at low frequencies and small strains. With most techniques, such as ultrasonic pulse transmission or acoustic resonance, measurements are limited to a few discrete frequencies. These sound speed measurements are also indirect, since they involve density as well as elastic constants.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A numerical–experimental framework is developed for characterizing multi‐matrix fiber‐reinforced polymers (MM‐FRPs) combining epoxy and polyurethane matrices. Harmonic bending tests are integrated with finite element model updating (FEMU) to simultaneously identify elastic and viscoelastic material parameters.

Additive Gaussian Process Regression for Predictive Design of High‐Performance, Printable Silicones
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A chemistry‐aware design framework for tuning printable polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) for vat photopolymerization (VPP) is developed using additive Gaussian process (GP) modeling. Polymer network mechanics informs variable groupings, feasible formulation constraints, and interaction variables.

Nonlinear viscoelasticity of metastable complex fluids
, 2006 Many metastable complex fluids such as colloidal glasses and gels show distinct nonlinear viscoelasticity with increasing oscillatory-strain amplitude; the storage modulus decreases monotonically as the strain amplitude increases whereas the loss modulus
