Soil’s consolidation is a geotechnical problem resulting from stress-transfer process that initiates when the load applied to water contained in soil, producing reduction pore pressure and rearranging solid particles, thus causing decrease soil volume. Therefore, coupled flow–mechanical problem. Coupled models have been developed simulate this phenomenon while considering different theories, pr...

In this paper, the effect of the crack on dynamic behavior of cracked micro-beam in the presence of DC and AC loads are investigated. By applying the residual axial stress and fringing field stress, a nonlinear analytical model of cracked micro-beam is presented and crack is modeled by a massless rotational spring. The governing equation of the system is solved using Galerkin procedure and shoo...

The kinetic theory of gases implies an independent evolution equation for the momentum flux tensor that closely resembles an evolution equation for the elastic stress in continuum descriptions of viscoelastic liquids. However, kinetic theory leads to a non-objective convected derivative for the evolution of the deviatoric stress, and a fixed relation between the stress relaxation rate and the v...

We investigate localization in granular material with the support of numerical simulations based upon DEM (Distinct Element Method). Localization is associated a discontinuity component incremental strain over plane surface through condition determinant acoustic tensor to be zero. are carried out on an aggregate elastic frictional spheres, initially isotropically compressed and then sheared at ...

The mechanical properties of pavement materials are crucial to the design and performance flexible pavements. One most commonly used measures these is resilient modulus (Er). Many different models were developed predict coarse soils, which based on states stresses physical soil. unconsolidated unsaturated drained cyclic triaxial tests performed for three variously graded well-graded sand specim...

The construction of high-speed railways in cold regions needs to consider the effects freeze–thaw cycles (FTHs) on long-term deformation subgrades. However, at present, research creep characteristics frozen–thawed rocks and soils is not extensive. In limited studies soil properties, current focuses more high stress–strain–time responses, but for subgrades, inner stress usually low. This paper p...
