Unified Modeling for the Simple Shear Behavior of Clay and Sand Accounting for Principal Stress Rotations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Mechanical response of soils under simple shear conditions has long been a subject of significant interest in the field of geomechanics. When subjected to simple shear loading, soils experience rotations of the principal ...
Energy Efficient Thermoelectric Generator-Powered Localized Air-Conditioning System Applied in a Heavy-Duty Vehicle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thermoelectric technology applied in vehicle has become significantly essential due to the global energy crisis and the environmental protection issues. A novelty energy efficient technology called localized air-conditioning ...
Random Finite-Element Analysis of Slope Considering Strength Anisotropy and Spatial Variability of Soil
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Soil is a complex material that exhibits both spatial variability and anisotropy. For simplicity, the traditional approach for analyzing slope stability often assumes that soil is homogeneous or isotropic, which can lead ...
Drained Cavity Expansion–Contraction in CASM and Its Application for Pressuremeter Tests in Sands
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The contraction behavior of monotonically expanded cavities is intriguing as it offers insights into certain geotechnical scenarios, especially for pressuremeter tests, where the unloading data is equally informative as ...
Probabilistic Analysis of a Three-Dimensional Slope Based on Limit Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In traditional stability analyses of three-dimensional slopes, soil has often been treated as a homogeneous material with single-parameter properties, overlooking the variability inherent in the strength parameters and ...
