A suite of stress-controlled cyclic triaxial tests were performed on frozen, fine-grained soils to assess the characteristics accumulated and behaviours under packets stress with variable amplitude. The influence sequences is highlighted, results amplitude indicate that applied sequence importance regarding final deformations. step change observed in strain when beyond previous package, while a...

This paper aims to study the mechanical behaviour and failure mechanism of intact rocks under different loading conditions using the grain based model implemented in the universal distinct element code (UDEC). The grain based numerical model is a powerful tool to investigate complicated micro-structural mechanical behaviour of rocks. In the UDEC grain based model, the intact material is simulat...

We conducted GDS dynamic triaxial tests to study the change rules of hysteresis curve morphology, axial strain, elastic modulus, and damping ratio waste tire rubber-mixed sand-based subgrade model samples with different rubber particle sizes, mixing amounts, loading times. The research revealed developmental rule curves rubber-mixed-sand under cyclic loading. From analyses comparison stress–str...

Shear yielding of glassy polymers is usually described in terms of the pressure-dependent Tresca or von Mises yield criteria. We test these criteria against molecular dynamics simulations of deformation in amorphous polymer glasses under triaxial loading conditions that are difficult to realize in experiments. Difficulties and ambiguities in extending several standard definitions of the yield p...
