The dynamic response of a fully or partially saturated halfspace due to vibrations from traffic
or rotating machinery can significantly be influenced by water and air phases within the …

The stress model of the hybrid‐Trefftz finite element is formulated for the analysis of
elastodynamic problems defined on unsaturated porous media. The supporting …

We present a new model updating technique for the automatic calculation of the small strain
shear modulus of geomaterials, based on bender element experiments. The technique …
