Abstract: Gravel of the Prudhoe Bay area of Alaska used in the construction of artificial islands has been examined in constant load creep experiments to determine the effects of temperature, stress, ...

Abstract: The deformation behavior of frozen saline soils involves a complex interaction between non-deformable particles (soil) and a plastic solid (ice) containing a liquid phase (brine). In order to ...

Abstract: The accuracy of the Oliver–Pharr approach for nanoindentation experiments critically depends on the interfacial friction condition. Although Coulomb friction is often used in finite element simulations ...
