Abstract: The response of infinite cylinder expanding in a poroelastic medium is investigated analytically in this paper on the basis of Biot's consolidation theory. The approach is based on the local equivalence between the response ...

Abstract: Interpretation of field vane tests in transient soils requires assessing partial drainage effects within the soil surrounding the vane. This subject is investigated in this paper using a nonlinear poroelastic model to ...

Abstract: The paper presents an efficient numerical integration scheme for coupled elastoplastic–viscoplastic constitutive behavior with internal-state variables standing for irreversible processes. In most quasi-static structural ...
