Abstract: Adequate simulation of undrained cyclic shearing of sands subjected to nonzero mean shear stresses is crucial for understanding complex behaviors associated with seismic liquefaction. This study presents the modification ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to present a number of simple, practical, and useful analytical expressions of a yield surface for geomaterials. In classical plasticity, the analytical expression of a yield surface defines ...

Abstract: The influence of anisotropic consolidation on the cyclic liquefaction resistance of granular materials is explored using 3D discrete element method simulations. In this study, the term anisotropic consolidation was defined ...

Abstract: The anisotropic nature of response and degradation of shear strength from the undisturbed condition to the remolded state are two fundamental and challenging aspects of response in some clay deposits. This paper presents ...

Abstract: A simple constitutive model for the inelastic response of steel under monotonic and random cyclic loading conditions is developed within the framework of bounding surface plasticity. The particular feature that distinguishes ...
