Lateral pile response of the 3 × square group has been investigated in terms lateral displacement and maximum bending moment using three-dimensional finite element analysis. Soil is represented 8-node isoparametric elements. Piles cap are modelled 20-node The 16-node interface elements used to establish continuity between surrounding soil. by modified Cam clay criterion. entire code developed F...

Rapid loading of sands is a common issue in geotechnical engineering problems such as projectile or free-fall impact. At high strain rates (HSR), soils show more strength and enhanced dilation (viscoplastic behaviour) compared to the response at low (inviscid behaviour). However, few constitutive models account for viscoplasticity sands. Hence, development viscoplastic highly desired. Usually, ...

[1] Plastic sea ice rheologies that employ teardrop and parabolic lens yield curves and allow varying biaxial tensile stresses have been developed. These rheologies, together with the previously developed ellipse and Mohr-Coulomb-ellipse rheologies, are implemented in a thickness and enthalpy distribution sea ice model to examine the rheological effect in numerical investigations of arctic clim...

Processing metallic materials via selective laser melting (SLM) enables the production of bulk glasses (BMGs) with large size and complex shape, which is difficult or even impossible to achieve using traditional manufacturing techniques. In this study, initiation propagation shear bands as well tensile strength in a 3D-printed BMG printing defects by means inherent porosities are studied. A mul...

Soils at the ground surface experience multiple cycles of drying and wetting. On drying, soils shrinkage cracks may appear. The development depends on tensile strength soil. Such increase permeability soil can cause slopes earth structures to fail due rainfall. Several models have been proposed for unsaturated considering effect matric suction. However, are either cohesionless (coarse-grained) ...

In order to investigate the formability of granular medium forming (GMF) based on Mohr–Coulomb constitutive model with tri-axial compression test and true stress–strain curves TA1 titanium alloy from uniaxial tensile tests, numerical simulation sheet deep drawing finite element method was performed, tests were also carried out. Simulation analysis results show that GMF process is suitable for s...
