Investigation of Lateral Stress Relief on theStability of PHI = 0 DEG Slopes Using Laboratory, Fracture Mechanics, and Finite Element Method Approaches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Total stress analyses of purely cohesive cut slopes utilize the undrained shear strength for slope stability analyses. These slopes can have an in-situ lateral earth pressure that is greater than the vertical pressure.

Assessing the contribution of vegetation to slope stability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Many embankments and cuttings associated with the transportation infrastructure in the UK are only marginally stable. Engineering techniques such as soil nailing, geosynthetic reinforcement, improved drainage and ground improvement by stabilisation are ...

A Parallelized 3D Geomechanical Solver for Fluid‐Induced Fault Slip in Poroelastic Media

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 2570-2586, 10 April 2026.
ABSTRACT We present a fully implicit formulation of coupled fluid flow and geomechanics for fluid injection/withdrawal in fractured reservoirs in the context of CO2$\textrm {CO}_2$ storage. Utilizing a Galerkin finite‐element approach, both flow and poroelasticity equations are discretized on a shared three‐dimensional mesh.

Cyclic Loading and Fabric Evolution in Sand: A Constitutive Investigation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
An anisotropic plasticity model is proposed to describe the effect of fabric and fabric evolution on the cyclic behaviour of sand within the framework of anisotropic critical state theory.

Application of wavelet analysis in tool wear evaluation using image processing method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Tool wear plays a significant role for proper planning and control of machining parameters to maintain the product quality. However, existing tool wear monitoring methods using sensor signals still have limitations.

Negative Frictional Healing in Icelandic Geothermal (IDDP‐2) Core Samples: Potential Implications for Detachment‐Fault Mechanics

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Detachment faults in mid‐ocean ridge settings accommodate tectonic extension. These faults are potentially weakened by alteration through phyllosilicate‐ and amphibole‐mineral formation. Seven core samples taken from the Krafla and Reykjanes geothermal fields in Iceland allow for the study of the effect of mineral alteration on the frictional ...

Stiffness of clays and silts: Modeling considerations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A large database has recently been published that details the development of new empirical expressions for the stiffness reduction with strain of clays and silts.

Channel Evolution During Drawdown of Iron Gate and Copco I Reservoirs, Klamath River, CA

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract This study used the world's largest dam removal on the Klamath River to investigate channel evolution in unconsolidated silt and clay sediment during reservoir drawdown. Timelapse imagery revealed retrogressing rotational slides and flowslides as key sources of sediment to the re‐emerging channels.

Evaluation of the Undrained Shear Strength in Preconsolidated Cohesive Soils Based on the Seismic Dilatometer Test

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
The undrained shear strength in cohesive soils can be evaluated based on measurements obtained from the standard dilatometer test (DMT) using single- and multi-factor empirical relationships.
