Frictional Strain Hardening-softening in Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Arching Effect
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
In the current paper the results of a numerical simulation that were verified by a well instrumented experimental procedure for studying the arching effect over a trapdoor in sand is presented. To simulate this phenomenon with continuum mechanics, the experimental procedure is modeled in ABAQUS code using stress dependent hardening in elastic state and plastic strain dependent frictional hardening-softening with Mohr Coulomb failure criterion applying user sub-routine. The apparatus comprises concentric circular trapdoors with different diameters that can yield downward while stresses and deformations are recorded simultaneously. As the trapdoor starts to yield, the whole soil mass deforms elastically. However, after an immediate specified displacement, depending on the diameter of the trapdoor, the soil mass behaves plastically. This behavior of sand occurs due to the flow phenomenon and continues until the stress on trapdoor is minimized. Then the failure process develops in sand and the measured stress on the trapdoor shows an ascending trend. This indicates gradual separation of the yielding mass from the whole soil body. Finally, the flow process leads to establish a stable vault of sand called arching mechanism or progressive collapse of the soil body.

Experimental and Numerical Studies of Load Transfers and Arching Effect
Experimental and numerical tests of the trap-door problem have been carried out, involving several granular materials. Three phases have been observed in the load transfer mechanism, as the trap-door is moved downward. The classical pattern for the description of this type of problem (a vertical plane of failure at each edge of the trap-door) corresponds to the third phase observed. The previou...

In the current paper results of a well instrumented experimental procedure for studying the arching effect in loose and dense sand are presented. The apparatus comprises concentric circular trapdoors with different diameters that can yield downward while stresses and deformations are recorded simultaneously. As the trapdoor starts to yield, the whole soil mass deforms elastically. However, afte...
متن کاملStrain hardening, avalanches, and strain softening in dense cross-linked actin networks.
Actin filament networks enable the cytoskeleton to adjust to internal and external forcing. These dynamic networks can adapt to changes by dynamically adjusting their cross-links. Here, we model actin filaments as cross-linked elastic fibers of finite dimensions, with the cross-links being approximately 1 mum apart, and employ a full three-dimensional model to study their elastic properties by ...

Experimental analysis of spring hardening and softening nonlinearities in microelectromechanical oscillators
Micro-electro-mechanical systems or MEMS are used in a variety of today’s technology and can be modeled using equations for nonlinear damped harmonic oscillators. Mathematical expressions have been formulated to determine resonance frequency shifts as a result of hardening and softening effects in MEMS devices. In this work we experimentally test the previous theoretical analysis of MEMS resona...
متن کاملExperimental and Numerical Model Studies of Frictional Instability Seismic Sources
Stick-slip frictional instability is widely regarded as a viable mechanism for crustal earthquakes, particularly because of the way that it can be incorporated into the notion of earthquakes as episodic unstable slip events along preexisting zones or planes of weakness represented by faults in the Earth. In this thesis, detailed laboratory observations of stick-slip events generated on a simula...
