Surface wave tests are non-invasive seismic techniques that can be used to determine the
low-strain dynamic properties of a soil deposit. In the conventional interpretation of these …

The microstructure of tissues and tissue equivalents (TEs) plays a critical role in determining
the mechanical properties thereof. One of the key challenges in constitutive modeling of TEs …

This paper presents an approach for constitutive modeling of the viscoplastic behavior of
asphalt mixes. This approach utilizes an anisotropic non-associated flow rule based on the …

The mechanical behavior of many bound granular materials such as asphalt mixtures is
anisotropic in nature. However, the majority of the current mechanical tests and analytical …

It is now well established that the micro-structure of granular materials plays a significant
role in their overall constitutive behavior. In the past few years, a great deal of theoretical …

We investigate the influence of particle angularity on the stress–strain behaviour, rotation
and micromechanics of granular assemblies under plane strain condition. Granular particles …

Reinforced soil structures can be used to protect infrastructures against rockfalls. An
innovative way to implement such protection is to construct the front face using a cellular …

The following is a description of a new computer‐simulation technique for the quasi‐static
particle mechanics of granular media and its application to the dilatant simple shear of …

In an effort to develop a constitutive equation associated with more deformation and failure
features of granular materials, the constitutive formulation is studied taking into account the …

Significant insight into the response of granular materials can be gained by coupling
accurately controlled physical tests with complementary discrete element simulations. This …
