Abstract: The influence of saturation and back pressures on the liquefaction resistance of a sand is investigated by conducting cyclic triaxial tests on four sets of sand samples with different degrees of saturation and on five sets ...

Abstract: A plate structure of a triangular truss core sandwiched by two panels is treated as an equivalent homogeneous laminated plate by obtaining equivalent anisotropic elastic constants. The equivalent ...

Abstract: Using surface elasticity theory, this article first analyzes the surface effect on the elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) line contact between an elastic half-plane and a rigid cylindrical punch. In this theory, the ...
