RISAn Experimental Study of the Effect of Particle Shape on Force Transmission and Mobilized Strength of Granular Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Force chains have been regarded as an important hallmark of granular materials. Numerous studies have examined their evolution, properties, and statistics in highly idealized, often circular-shaped, granular assemblies. ...
Implications of Buckingham’s Pi Theorem to the Study of Similitude in Discrete Structures: Introduction of the RFN, μN, and SN Dimensionless Numbers and the Concept of Structural Speed
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Motivated by the need to evaluate the seismic response of large-capacity gravity energy storage systems (potential energy batteries) such as the proposed frictional Multiblock Tower Structures (MTS) recently discussed by ...
