RISConsolidation Behavior for Saturated Sand–Marine Clay Mixtures Considering the Intergranular Structure Evolution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Laboratory tests on sand–marine clay mixtures reveal that the effect of sand mass fraction on the overall consolidation behavior is negligible for a sand mass fraction of 20% or less. Further increase of the sand fraction ...
Practical Estimation of Compression Behavior of Clayey/Silty Sands Using Equivalent Void-Ratio Concept
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Clayey/silty sands are widespread as naturally sedimentary soils such as marine deposits in estuaries and offshore locations. They belong to a unique class of gap-graded soils featuring a deficiency of certain range of ...
Second-Order Low-Frequency Wave Forces on a SPM Offloading Tanker in Shallow Water
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper studies the influence of three different calculation methods of the second-order low-frequency (LF) wave-force quadratic transfer functions (QTFs) for a single point mooring (SPM) tanker ...
Random Flow Generation Technique for Large Eddy Simulations and Particle-Dynamics Modeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A random flow generation (RFG) technique is presented, which can be used for initial/inlet boundary generation in LES (Large-Eddy-Simulations) or particle tracking in LES/RANS (Reynolds-Averaged ...
Elastic Visco-Plastic Model for Binary Sand-Clay Mixtures with Applications to One-Dimensional Finite Strain Consolidation Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The pore water dissipation of sand–clay mixtures is significantly affected by the sand fraction due to nonuniform stress distribution. On the basis of the elastic visco-plastic modeling concepts of Yin and Graham, a new ...
Effect of Initial Density, Particle Shape, and Confining Stress on the Critical State Behavior of Weathered Gap-Graded Granular Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Weathered gap-graded soils are a common geological body in mountainous regions, and they are widely used as construction materials. The shear strength is the controlling parameter for the design of civil projects; however, ...
Microstructures and Properties of Cu–AISI304 Parts Fabricated by Improved Selective Laser Sintering
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For fabricating complex AISI304 parts with high performance by advanced powder/metallurgy technologies, cold isostatic pressing (CIP) is introduced into selective laser sintering (SLS) combined with ...
On Relationship Between Bulk Modulus and Relative Volume of Lung During Inflation-Deflation Maneuvers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An equation of the form K = C /[1 − (V/V max )]n relating the bulk modulus K to the relative volume V/V max of lung region during inflation-deflation maneuvers is proposed. It well represents ...
Microstructural Modeling for Elastic Moduli of Bonded Granules
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a microgranular mechanics approach is used to derive an expression for the elastic moduli of an assembly of bonded granulates, based on the response of two particles that are connected by an elastic binder. ...
Precise Model for Predicting Excess Pore-Water Pressure of Layered Soils Induced by Thermal-Mechanical Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes a precise model to investigate the time-dependent response of excess pore-water pressure in stratified saturated soil induced by coupling effects from temperature and mechanical load based on the ...
