Engineering-scale problems generally can be described by partial differential equations
(PDEs) or ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Analytical, semi-analytical and numerical …

Corner breakage was less analyzed in pile–soil interaction research, causing the
mechanism of particular pile load behaviors in coral sand to remain unclear. This study …

The micro-mechanism of mooing depth effect on the interactions between suction piles and
granular soil remains unclear. This study investigates suction pile-soil interaction behaviour …

The micro-to macro-scale bearing capacity characteristics of unsaturated fine granular soil
have remained unclear. This study is the first to investigate the capillary suction effect on the …

Although particle corner breakage has been proved to be the primary mode of particle
breakage for coral sand, current studies of pile penetration have continued to present the …

Negative stiffness structures (NSS) are a type of mechanical metamaterials that absorb
energy via buckling of negative stiffness members. However, these structures have …

Although particle corner breakage has proven to be the major breakage mode of irregular
grains, most pile–soil interaction analysis has focused on particle fracture breakage, thus the …

Transportation infrastructures filled with calcareous sand are subjected to a high-cyclic
loading. Existing studies indicated that a key challenge in predicting the cumulative …

The aim of this paper is to create novel 3D cubic negative stiffness (NS) structures (NSSs)
with superior mechanical performances such as high energy absorption, shape recovery …

Depending on the characteristics of soil particles and external load, natural soils often
undergo particle breakage which may significantly influence their mechanical behavior. In …
