Abstract: Granular materials deposited under gravity usually exhibit inherent fabric anisotropy, which leads to profoundly varying strength under different loading directions in regard to the bedding plane that has been observed ...

Abstract: The relationship between dilatancy and anisotropy is a fundamental aspect of anisotropic behavior of granular materials. Existing test data directly investigating this relationship are scarce and conflicting. Discrete ...

Abstract: The conventional finite element method was employed to study the relationship between melt filling and air accumulation in micro-cavities. The variational equation for melt flow with slip boundary ...

Abstract: Understanding variations in tropical cyclone (TC) translation speed (TCS) is of great importance for islands and coastal regions since it is an important factor in determining TC-induced local damages. Investigating the ...

Abstract: The operation risks for deep-sea oil spill recovery are characterized by their multiplicity, fuzziness, and dynamic nature. To more properly and comprehensively assess the operational risks for deep-sea oil spill recovery, ...

Abstract: Layered zones with vertical fracture are often found in analyzing well-test data of deep/ultra-deep reservoirs and tight reservoirs. Analyzing and modeling the well-test data in a computation-accurate and easy-program ...
