In this paper, an adaptive anisotropic constitutive model, namely AA1-CLAY, is developed for clays based on the critical state framework. The model has a non-associated flow rule, and it can also reduce to basic models. A versatile yield surface (YS) implemented in which generate broad range of shapes improve possibility capturing experimental points different clay types with high accuracy. add...

Microsphere experiments are useful in measuring regional organ perfusion as well as heterogeneity of blood flow within organs and correlation of perfusion between organ pieces at different time points. A 400 microspheres/piece "rule" is often used in planning experiments or to determine whether experiments are valid. This rule is based on the statement that 400 microspheres must lodge in a regi...

We explore the consequences of a deterministic microscopic thermostat-reservoir contact mechanism for hard disks where the collision rule at the boundary is modified. Numerical evidence and theoretical argument is given that suggests that an energy balance is achieved for a system of hard disks in contact with two reservoirs at equal temperatures. This system however produces entropy near the t...

As traffic demand on road networks steadily increases every year, the need for alleviation of global congestion arises. Our contribution lies in assisting of traffic engineers and policy makers who are faced with the problem of controlling the traffic flows. In this paper, we explore the usefulness of cellular automata to traffic flow modeling. We extend some of the existing CA models to captur...

We present experimental findings on the flow rule for granular flows on a rough inclined plane using various materials, including sand and glass beads of various sizes and four types of copper particles with different shapes. We characterize the materials by measuring hs (the thickness at which the flow subsides) as a function of the plane inclination theta on various surfaces. Measuring the su...
