Abstract: This paper reports the effects of soil–water interaction on the mechanical behaviors of shear-zone soils taken from a bedding landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir area of China. Two types of wetting treatment, namely ...

Abstract: Granular materials usually copossess inherent and stress-induced anisotropy that significantly influences their mechanical behaviors. This paper presents a series of true-triaxial tests on aeolian sands to consider the ...

Abstract: The objective of the present work is to investigate experimentally and numerically the influences of surface roughness, produced by typical machining processes, on friction performances in ...

Abstract: The coupled oscillations of a liquid partially filled container having an elastic bottom or elastic walls have been studied. Two different tank configurations, a rectangular and a circular ...

Abstract: The evaporation and pro-ignition characteristics of the lubricating oil blending in the cylinder can bring a super knock for the high-efficiency gasoline engine. The evaporation characteristics of the lubricant/gasoline ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical approach to simulate sliding friction between engineering surfaces with 3D roughness in point contacts. The numerical approach is developed on the basis of the ...

Abstract: The inhomogeneity of soil is a ubiquitous problem for pile foundations due to, for example, pile installation (radial inhomogeneity) or the natural sedimentation of soil (vertical inhomogeneity). Most continuum theory ...
