Abstract: A finite-element approach is used to analyze the slope stability problem and to examine the effect of soil dilatancy on the stability of slopes. It is found that soil dilatancy has a significant effect on the stability of ...

Abstract: A simple stress-ratio controlled, critical state compatible, sand plasticity model is presented, first in the triaxial and then in generalized stress space. The model builds upon previous work of the writers, albeit the ...

Abstract: The three-dimensional transient thermal problem of work rolls in the entire rolling process has been formulated. It includes the time-varying boundary conditions specified at the roll surface ...
