Stress-Dilatancy for Soils. Part I: The Frictional State Theory

Stress-dilatancy Relation for Mohr-Coulomb Soils Following a Non-Associated Flow Rule

Rowe's stress–dilatancy relation for frictional (cohesion-less) materials has been a cornerstone of soil mechanics. The original derivation of this relationship was based on incorrect energy minimisation considerations, but the relationship was proven later by De Josselin de Jong using friction laws, and has been confirmed by a large body of experimental results. In contrast, the validity of Ro...

Valuation Theory. Part I

In the article we introduce a valuation function over a field [1]. Ring of non negative elements and its ideal of positive elements have been also defined. The notation and terminology used here have been introduced in the following We use the following convention: x, y, z, s are extended real numbers, i is an integer, and n, m are natural numbers. The following propositions are true: (1) If x ...
