Cosmological Parameters from Cosmic Shear
For a thorough introduction to cosmic shear, see the review of Réfrégier [1] in this volume. Since its first detection in 2000, cosmic shear has proven to be a valuable tool for cosmology. Constraints on cosmological parameters, in particular the (dark+luminous) matter density Ωm and the power spectrum normalization σ8 has been obtained from cosmic shear surveys with observed areas of up to sev...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Discrete Element Simulations of Direct Shear Tests
Using discrete element methods, geotechnical engineers can create “virtual laboratories” to simulate conventional laboratory tests. In this study, three-dimensional DEM simulations of direct shear tests are coupled with equivalent physical tests on steel balls. The macro-scale response of simulations is compared with the physical test results to validate the discrete element model and to gain i...
متن کاملPermeability and Direct Shear Tests Characteristics of Railway Subballast
Permeability, filtration and shearing strength were widely considered to be the key properties in evaluating the performance of railway subballast. An investigation on these key properties of railway subballast was presented in this paper. A constant head permeability test and a middle scale direct shear test of railway subballast were conducted in the research, aiming to investigate the subbal...
متن کاملAssessment of Changes in Shear Strength Parameters for Soils below Circular Machine Foundation
This paper focuses on the response of circular machine foundation resting on different soils (sand and clay) through studying the variation of soil shear strength parameters and strain with the number of cycles. The objective of the current study is to explore the results related to the parameters of the dynamic load (number of loading cycles and frequency of load) related to the circular footi...
متن کاملevaluation of mechanical behaviour of sandstone and andesibasalt rockfill materials using triaxial & direct shear tests
the mechanical behaviour of rockfill materials and aggregates depends not only on particle size and compaction, but also on their strength and lithological properties. in this research two types of large triaxial and direct shear tests are performed on rockfill materials. this paper compares the stress-strain behaviour of sandstone and andesibasalt materials in triaxial compression tests (3006...
