Abstract: The present paper provides an analysis of self‐boring pressuremeter tests in sand in terms of the state parameter. The method developed herein can be used to determine the in‐situ sand state from the results of the self‐boring ...

Abstract: An analysis is made of the rate of the mass flow through a vacuum seal separating two rarefied gas environments. The determination of the mass throughflow characteristics involves the formulation ...

Abstract: A method of analysis is presented for determining closed-form solutions for torsion of inhomogeneous prismatic bars of arbitrary cross section, the inhomogeneity stemming from the layering of ...

Abstract: The problem of laminar flow development in a parallel-plate channel having one moving wall is investigated both analytically and experimentally. In the first phase, an analytical solution for ...

Abstract: A general analytical method has been developed to approximate the pressure distribution along a porous duct of an arbitrary cross section with uniform fluid extraction or addition through the ...

Abstract: Cone tip resistance is the most widely measured quantity in the cone penetration test. A brief review is made of presently available theories for the analysis of cone resistance. The theories are presented in forms that ...

Abstract: The limit-equilibrium method is commonly used for slope stability analysis. However, it is well known that the solution obtained from the limit-equilibrium method is not rigorous, because neither static nor kinematic ...

Abstract: The problem of cavity expansion from zero radius has no characteristic length and therefore possesses a similarity solution, in which the cavity pressure remains constant and the continuing deformation is geometrically ...
