This article presents an overview of the application of analytical methods in the theories of
elasticity, poroelasticity, flow, and transport in porous media and plasticity to the solution of …

There is an increasing interest in dynamic systems and controls of noninteger orders or
fractional orders. Clearly, for closed-loop control systems, there are four situations. They are …

The most common fallacy in the quest for the optimum stimulation treatment in shale plays
across the country is to treat them all just like the Barnett Shale. There is no doubt that the …

A uniaxial strain-softening constitutive model for fiber-reinforced soils is developed based on
the disturbed state concept (DSC). The response in the relatively intact state is assumed to …

The influences of particle breakage on the position of the critical state line (CSL) were
systematically investigated in this paper through a series of large-scale triaxial compression …

Modeled rockfill materials consisting of rounded and angular particles obtained from two
dam sites are subjected to drained triaxial tests using large size specimens. An elastoplastic …

This book is a result of the authors' research and teaching in the field of finite element
nonlinear analysis over many years. In the research related to this book, our objective has …

A triaxial constitutive model is developed for elastoplastic behavior of geomaterials, which
accounts for tensile damage. The constitutive setting is formulated in the framework of …

In this paper, the mechanical properties of cemented clay are studied. The theoretical
framework of the Structured Cam Clay (SCC) model is extended to describe the behaviour of …

Numerous constitutive models have been developed over the past forty years for modeling
the stress-strain behavior of soils. These models are to be used with finite element and/or …
