In many industrial processes granular materials are mixed together in partially filled slowly rotating drums. In this paper a general theoretical framework is developed for the quasi-two-dimensional motion of granular material in a rotating drum. The key assumption is that the body can be divided into a fluid-like and a solid-like region, that are separated by a non-material singular surface at...

Long-term stress accumulation influenced by coseismic changes and postseismic viscoelastic relaxation is considered critical to triggering giant earthquakes. Nevertheless, how the increase interrupted aftershocks it influences megaseismic cycle remain enigmatic. In this study, based on Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion at nucleated segments of 2008 great Sichuan earthquake, variation associated wi...

As a result of active development Moscow underground space, as well due to the increased density urban development, it is necessary forecast additional displacements surrounding buildings from new construction in order prevent emergency situations. For this reason, one important directions mathematical modeling building after erection. Establishing parameters design boundaries geotechnical mode...

Tetrapod piled jacket (TPJ) foundations that support offshore wind turbines (OWTs) tend to be subjected significant torque is caused by eccentric loading from wind, waves, or accidental vessel impact. This paper presented a comprehensive three-dimensional (3D) numerical analysis investigate TPJs performance under torsional loading, which considered the distribution of local and rotation over pi...

Abstract This study presents the findings of a 3D finite element modeling on performance single pile under various slenderness ratios (25, 50, 75, 100). These percentages were assigned to cover most commonly configuration used in such kind piles. The effect soil condition (dry and saturated) response was also investigated. modeled as linear elastic, surrounded dry layers simulated by adopting m...
