Abstract: The object of this note is the formulation of a simple elastoplastic model for the behavior of smooth sand-steel interfaces. The model is derived from a series of constant normal stiffness direct shear tests between a ...

Abstract: The behavior of displacement piles in uncemented calcareous sand is investigated using field piles instrumented with a sensor that simultaneously records the radial stress and shear stress at specific locations on the pile ...

Abstract: The nonlinear panel flutter problem solved by Dowell in 1966 is used to investigate the new application of the proper orthogonal decomposition model reduction technique to aeroelastic analysis. ...
