Abstract: Analytical solutions for displacement, strain, and stress in a single energy pile provide rational, mechanics-based qualitative and quantitative understanding of thermomechanical load transfer mechanism in energy piles. ...

Abstract: Conditions for plastic localization, in terms of the possibility for discontinuous bifurcations of the incremental strain rate field, are given for the MRS‐Lade model. The susceptibility to bifurcation is examined along ...

Abstract: Properties of discontinuous bifurcation solutions for elastic‐plastic solids are established for conventional test conditions that are pertinent to experiments on soil, powder, and rock. Typically, such conditions are ...

Abstract: The main purpose of this study was to derive analytical solutions for soil structure interaction in single energy piles that exhibit irreversible interface behavior. The solutions were derived for a pile embedded in a ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions for axial displacement, strain, and stress in an end-bearing energy pile subjected to a thermal load and a combined thermal and mechanical load have been derived and validated against full-scale in ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions for axial displacement, strain, and stress in a single semifloating energy pile embedded in a layered soil profile subjected to thermal and mechanical loads were derived. An analytical solution for the ...
