The anisotropy of Leighton Buzzard sand under general stress conditions
A hollow cylinder apparatus was used to investigate the inherent anisotropy and membrane penetration of Leighton Buzzard sand test-specimens. The degree of inherent anisotropy was found to be independent of the mean effective stress but dependent on the initial relative density of the test-specimen. In the vertical-tohorizontal directions, the degree of inherent anisotropy decreases with increa...
متن کاملAnalysis of Shear Bands in Sand Under Reduced Gravity Conditions
The strength of granular material, specifically sand is of pivotal importance for understanding physical phenomena on other celestial bodies. However, relatively few experiments have been conducted to determine the dependence of strength properties on gravity. In this work, we experimentally investigated three measures of strength (peak, confined flow, and unconfined flow friction angle) in Ear...
متن کاملSurface instability in windblown sand.
We investigate the formation of ripples on the surface of windblown sand based on the one-dimensional model of Nishimori and Ouchi [Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 197 (1993)], which contains the processes of saltation and grain relaxation. We carry out a nonlinear analysis to determine the propagation speed of the restabilized ripple patterns, and the amplitudes and phases of their first, second, and thi...
متن کاملRisk of Sequential Estimator of the Failure Rate of Exponential Distribution under Convex Boundary
In this paper the exact determination of the distribution of stopping variable, the moment and risk of sequential estimator of the failure rate of exponential distribution, under convex boundary is obtained. The corresponding Poisson Process is used to derive the exact distribution of stopping variable of sequential estimator of the failure rate. In the end the exact values of mean and risk ...
متن کاملEffects of shear heating and dilatancy on slip instability of a fluid-infiltrated fault with rate/state depen- dent friction
where the expression following the first equality is the force in the spring and that following the second is the frictional resistance to sliding of the block (both expressed for a block of unit area). The load point velocity vo is the product of the imposed rate of tectonic strain rate γ̇ in the crustal block and the characteristic length of the block. The effective spring stiffness k is the s...
