One of the first courses I taught at Stanford was Advanced Soil Mechanics. The course title
was accurate in the beginning, but the contents gradually became more and more about …

We investigate three aspects of material behavior in this ninth installment of the Cam-Clay
series, namely, anisotropy, heterogeneity, and viscoplasticity. The main focus of the paper is …

The presence of fluid in the pores of a solid imposes a volume constraint on the deformation
of the solid. Finite changes in the pore volume alter the degree of saturation of a porous …

This paper introduces X-ray tomography as an experimental method that allows grain-scale
measurements for both porosity and degree of saturation. A whole configuration and set-up …

Geomaterials with aggregated structure or containing fissures often exhibit a bimodal pore
size distribution that can be viewed as two coexisting pore regions of different scales. The …

This state-of-the-art covers advances in the constitutive modelling, experimental
investigation and field measurement of suction for unsaturated soils. It consists of three …

Many clay rocks have distinct bedding planes. Experimental studies have shown that their
mechanical properties evolve with the degree of saturation (DOS), often with higher stiffness …

In the present manuscript, a stabilized two-phase PD-FEM coupling approach is developed
for simulating deformation and fracture propagation in partially saturated porous media …

We present an updated Lagrangian continuum particle method based on smoothed particle
hydrodynamics (SPH) for simulating debris flow on an instrumented test slope. The site is a …

This article is devoted to a computational plastic periporomechanics model for localized
failure in unsaturated porous media assuming passive atmospheric pressure. The …
