RISEnergy-Based Approach to Quantify Cyclic Resistance and Pore Pressure Generation in Anisotropically Consolidated Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In practical engineering, sand fills or deposits are often under an anisotropic stress condition. Thus, these soil elements sustain an initial static shear stress before being acted upon by cyclic loading because of traffic, ...
Noncoaxial Behavior of Granular Materials under Principal Stress Rotation: Insights from Stress Probing Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractNoncoaxiality refers to the deviation between the principal directions of plastic
strain increment and stress. However, in laboratory tests, due to the difficulty of
separating elastic and plastic strains, the ...
The Project for Intercomparison of Land-surface Parameterization Schemes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Project for Intercomparison of Land-surface Parameterization Schemes (PILPS) is described and the first stage science plan outlined. PILPS is a project designed to improve the parameterization of the continental surface, ...
Unified Modeling of the Influence of Consolidation Conditions on Monotonic Soil Response Considering Fabric Evolution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes an anisotropic plasticity model to address the effect of consolidation conditions on the responses of soils within the framework of the anisotropic critical state theory (ACST). Double-yield surfaces ...
Impact of Static Preshearing on Undrained Anisotropy and Shear Characteristics of Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The preshearing history of soil is a prominent factor governing its mechanical behavior at various loading conditions. An experimental program was developed to study the effects of preshearing at drained compression and ...
Novel Approach for Deriving a State-Dependent Soil Constitutive Model Using Stress Probing Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractNonlinearity, irreversibility, and state-dependency are prominent features of the
mechanical behavior of soil. To develop a constitutive model for soil with a rigorous
basis, a thorough understanding of its incremental ...
Comparison of the Cyclic Liquefaction Susceptibility of Calcareous and Siliceous Sand: An Energy-Based Perspective
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractCalcareous sands, which are prevalent in low latitude coastal regions, are commonly
used as filling or foundation materials in onshore and offshore engineering projects.
These sands possess unique geological and ...
Ripening Growth Kinetics of Cu6Sn5 Grains in Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu-xTiO2/Cu Solder Joints During the Reflow Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The ripening growth kinetics of interfacial Cu6Sn5 grains between Cu substrates and Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu-xTiO2 (x = 0, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.6 wt %) (SAC305-xTiO2) solders were investigated. The results show that the Cu6Sn5 ...
Effects of Averaging and Separating Soil Moisture and Temperature in the Presence of Snow Cover in a SVAT and Hydrological Model for a Southern Ontario, Canada, Watershed
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The energy and water balances at the earth's surface are dramatically influenced by the presence of snow cover. Therefore, soil temperature and moisture for snow-covered and snow-free areas can be very different. In computing ...
Conjugate Heat Transfer Predictions for Subcooled Boiling Flow in a Horizontal Channel Using a Volume-of-Fluid Framework
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The accuracy of computational fluid dynamic (CFD)-based heat transfer predictions have been examined of relevance to liquid cooling of IC engines at high engine loads where some nucleate boiling occurs. Predictions based ...
