The successful commercialization of smart wearable garments is hindered by the lack of fully
integrated carbon-based energy storage devices into smart wearables. Since electrodes are …

Current knowledge on the shear wave velocity (V s) and associated stiffness (G 0) of sand is
built mainly on the results of extensive laboratory studies on clean quartz sands. Often …

Shear modulus is an essential parameter for deformation prediction and site response
analysis of geological problems. This paper considers the dynamic shear modulus …

The strain-dependent dynamic properties of sand are generally described by their relative
density and mean effective stress, while the contribution of other factors, like soil origin …

Resonant column tests were conducted on clean Hostun sand and Hostun sand mixed with
5%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% fines (particle size smaller than 0.075 mm) to assess the …

Dynamic properties of soils at very small strains are of particular interest for geotechnical
engineers for the characterization of the behaviour of earth structures subjected to a variety …

Discrete element modeling was used to investigate the effect of particle size distribution on
the small strain shear stiffness of granular soils and explore the fundamental mechanism …

This letter examines the effect of fines content on the small-strain stiffness (G 0) of gap-
graded soils via the discrete element method (DEM). The G 0 values were obtained by DEM …

The paper presents the application of equivalent granular void ratio e* to predict the
maximum stiffness of coarse particles containing low and high amounts of fines contents. A …

Sand-clay mixtures are often encountered in natural deposits and compacted soils in earth
structures in the form of gap-graded soils. They commonly display anisotropic fabric which …
