One-Dimensional Consolidation Considering Viscous Soil Behaviour and Water Compressibility - Viscoconsolidation

Examination on Time-dependent Soil Models in One-dimensional Consolidation

This paper reviews the performance of two time-dependent constitutive models in predictions of one-dimensional consolidation. The Soft-Soil Creep model [1] is an example of an elastic-viscoplastic formulation that incorporates a timedependent state variable to estimate viscoplastic deformation. We show that the SSC model is equivalent to the isotache formulation proposed by Imai [2], as both ar...

Compressibility measurements of quasi-one-dimensional quantum wires.

We report measurements of the compressibility of a one-dimensional quantum wire, defined in the upper well of a GaAs/AlGaAs double quantum well heterostructure. A wire defined simultaneously in the lower well probes the ability of the upper wire to screen the electric field from a biased surface gate. The technique is sensitive enough to resolve spin splitting of the subbands in the presence of...

a numerical approach for one dimensional thermal consolidation of clays

in saturated soils, heating induces thermal expansion of both grains and the pore fluid. lower thermal expansion coefficient of aggregates results in the increase of pore pressure and reduction of the effective stress besides subsequent volume changes due to the dissipation of pore pressure and heat transfer. dissipation of thermally induced pore pressure with time is a coupled thermo-hydro-mec...

Rarefaction, Compressibility, and Viscous Heating in Gas Microfilters

Gas  ows throughmicroŽ lters are simulated in the continuumand slip  ow regimes as a functionof theKnudsen, Reynolds, and Mach numbers. The numerical simulations are based on the spectral element formulation of compressible Navier–Stokes equations, which utilize previously developed high-order velocity slip and temperature jump boundary conditions. Both slip and no-slip simulations are used t...
