Abstract: Previous analyses are amplified to demonstrate that when the constitutive equations for geo‐materials, in which the elastic moduli depend on the plastic strain, are derived from basic thermo‐mechanical principles, the ...

Abstract: A procedure for analyzing the mechanical response of an unbound pavement to the repeated loading of traffic is presented. The pavement is modeled as a layered elastic/plastic structure, and its response is described by the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical investigation into the continued quasi-static compression of a thin metal strip between two rigid, parallel rough dies. Three different constitutive postulates ...

Abstract: The mechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced composite thermoplastic sheets during forming processes is modelled as a viscous fluid with inextensibility and incompressibility constraints. Techniques ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of computer calculations of a class of slipline solutions for compression between parallel dies with slipping friction at the die-metal interface such that the ...

Abstract: This paper presents an interpretation method for determining sand properties from the cone tip resistance and the pressuremeter limit pressure measured with the cone pressuremeter. The method developed here can be used to ...
