Abstract: This paper presents results of the finite element study on the behavior of a single pile in elastic-plastic soils. Pile behavior in uniform sand and clay soils as well as cases with a sand layer in a clay deposit and a ...

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the behavior of elastic–plastic specimens during testing in a triaxial apparatus. In particular, an investigation of the influence of a number of imperfections on the observed behavior of a ...

Abstract: A thermodynamics-based energy analysis approach for pressure-dependent materials is presented. Formulation of plastic free energy and plastic dissipation for the nonassociated Drucker-Prager plasticity model is derived ...

Abstract: Presented is a study on energy dissipation in dynamic inelastic systems due to material inelasticity, viscous damping, and algorithmic damping. Formulation for plastic dissipation is based on thermodynamics, with consideration ...

Abstract: In this paper, recently developed probabilistic elastoplasticity was applied in simulating cyclic behavior of clay. A simple von Mises elastic–perfectly plastic material model was used for simulation. Probabilistic soil ...

Abstract: Six displacement-controlled, conventional, drained axisymmetric triaxial experiments on cohesionless granular soil specimens were conducted at very low effective confining stresses in a SPACEHAB module on the Space Shuttle ...
