Abstract: The secant shear modulus is an important parameter in several geotechnical engineering models and calculation approaches. The characteristics of this parameter are very complex due to the hysteretic behavior of cyclically ...

Abstract: Two of the mesh-based numerical approaches suitable for geotechnical large deformation problems, the multimaterial arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (MMALE) and the coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian (CEL) methods are investigated. ...
