Determination of Interfacial Shear and Normal Stresses in Fiber Pull-Out
In this paper we present an improved formulation for the pullout problem, wherein both the effects of fiber end condition and interfacial and frictional shear stresses are considered....

Failure Prediction of Anisotropic Material
Basic mathematical elements of a higher order failure theory for anisotropic material are outlined. Surface closure is ensured by requiring a tensor polynomial to satisfy constraint conditions....

Modeling the Chaotic Behavior in Simple Shear Granular Flows
Simple shear granular flows have demonstrated a variety of puzzling phenomena. Both computer simulations and physical experiments have discovered particle grouping, layering and shear...

Stresses in Open Section Fiber Reinforced Composite Beams Under Constant Shear Loading
A strength of materials approach from the ply level is used to derive expressions for stresses in statically determinate open section composite beams subjected to constant shear loading....

The Analysis Related to the Impact of Composite Panels
In analyzing experiments under impact loading, a dynamic model is needed to solve for the deflections and strains as functions of time. For composites, where shear deformation can be very...

The Transport and Fate of Drilling Muds
The disposal of drilling muds from offshore oil platforms is of concern because of the potential effects of pollution from these muds. Both drilling muds and fine-grained bottom sediments...

Modeling 3-D Circulation Using the DSS Technique
The direct stress solution (DSS) technique allows a numerical internal mode solution for the vertical variation of shear stress, rather than velocity, in a three-dimensional circulation...

Probabilistic Evaluation of Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations
A probabilistic model is developed to evaluate the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. The bearing capacity formulation proposed by Terzaghi is used but with the bearing capacity...

Seismic Response Variability of Soil Sites
The seismic response variability of soil sites due to randomness associated with both the input base motion and spatial inhomogeneity of the shear modulus is investigated. Some numerical...

Non-Intrusive Rayleigh Wave Measurement System for Soil Profiling in Ports
Accurate shear wave velocity profiles have been long recognized as essential data to evaluate the dynamic response of soil deposits and soil-structure interaction under earthquake and...

Feasibility of FRP Molded Grating-Concrete Composites for One-Way Slab Systems
This paper describes the behavior of one-way concrete slabs reinforced with Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) molded grating. FRP molded grating is commercially available and is mainly...

Dynamic Parameters Analysis of Piles
This paper presents an analysis for the dynamic parameters of a single pile. The analysis allows consideration of pile-soil interaction, soil natural layered behavior and floating pile...

Cyclic Behavior of a Deepwater Normally Consolidated Clay
A comprehensive advanced laboratory testing program was undertaken to study the cyclic behavior of clays under various combinations of one-way and two-way cyclic loading. This work was...

Dynamic Response Characteristics of Jack-Up Drilling Units
The effects of five parameters on the dynamic amplification of the global base shear on a deep water jack-up drilling unit were analyzed using a time domain nonlinear model. The five parameters...

A Laboratory Study of Shock Waves in Frozen Soil
This work has focused on two aspects of dynamic behavior of frozen soil: first, on the shock pressure attenuation, and second, on the shock Hugoniot. The use of long bars of frozen soil...

Friction and Cohesion in Ice Rubble Reviewed
An argument is ventured that accumulations of ice rubble undergoing continuous shear deformation are essentially cohesionless. In terms of the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, therefore,...

Low-Rise Shear Wall Failure Modes
A summary of the data that are available concerning the structural response of low-rise shear walls is presented. These data will be used to address two failure modes associated with shear...

Structural Approximations in Multi-Story Buildings
Simplified computer analyses and various approximate hand calculation methods are extremely valuable in structural engineering for multi-story buildings both during the preliminary design...

Strain Distribution in Fault Zones and Fluid Flow
Field and laboratory studies have shown that mechanical shearing in fault zones produces a repeatable fabric that changes with increasing shear strain. In the brittle field of mechanical...

Correlation of Hydraulic Conductivity and Sonic Velocity in Water-Saturated Tuff
A laboratory study was conducted to investigate the correlation of hydraulic and sonic properties of water-saturated tuff. The hydraulic test used a new rock block testing machine, which...
