The Role of Anisotropy on the Volumetric Behaviour of Opalinus Clay upon Suction Change

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Alberto Minardi, Eleonora Crisci

An experimental investigation to analyse the anisotropic volumetric response of shaly and sandy facies of Opalinus Clay upon suction variations is presented. Obtained results demonstrate the different behaviour of the tested facies to a wetting-drying cycl ...

Micromotion-induced peri-prosthetic fluid flow around a cementless femoral stem

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Valérie Hélène Emilie Malfroy Camine

Micromotion-induced interstitial fluid flow at the bone-implant interface has been proposed to play an important role in aseptic loosening of cementless implants. High fluid velocities are thought to promote aseptic loosening through activation of osteocla ...

Selected Aspects Of Designing Deep Excavations

This paper analyzes two approaches to serviceability limit state (SLS) verification for the deep excavation boundary value problem. The verification is carried out by means of the finite element (FE) method with the aid of the commercial program ZSoil v201 ...

Punching shear tests on compact footings with uniform soil pressure

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, João Tiago Ramos Bernardo de Santa Rita Simões

Punching shear is usually the governing failure criterion for the select ion of the depth of reinforced concrete footings. Despite the fact that large experimental programmes have been performed in the past aimed at the punching strength of slender flat sl ...

Shear Resistance and Failure Modes of Edgewise Multiple Tab-and-Slot Joint (MTSJ) Connection with Dovetail Design for Thin LVL spruce plywood Kerto-Q Panels

Yves Weinand, Stéphane Nicolas Roche, Mira Dedijer

The objective of this study is to experimentally analyse effects of geometry variations of Multiple Tab and Slot Joint (MTSJ) connection with dovetail design on shear mechanical behaviour. Direct shear test was performed on angular (phi=90°) MTSJ connectio ...

Fluid-structure interaction in straight pipelines: Friction coupling mechanisms

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, David Ferràs Segura

The present paper approaches fluid-structure interaction by means of a 4-equation model. Experimental data collected from a straight copper pipe-rig lying directly on the lab floor is used for the model validation in terms of wave shape, timing and damping ...

Dilatant hardening of fluid-saturated sandstone

Roman Makhnenko

The presence of pore fluid in rock affects both the elastic and inelastic deformation processes, yet laboratory testing is typically performed on dry material even though in situ the rock is often saturated. Techniques were developed for testing fluid-satu ...

Mesoscopic Modeling and Experimental Investigations of the Last-Stage Solidification of Globular-Equiaxed Grains in Metallic Alloys : Application to the Al-Cu System

Christophe Mondoux

Hot tearing is a major defect of solidification processes and welding. It occurs in metallic alloys while they are in the semi-solid state and is caused by a lack of liquid feeding in the mushy zone to compensate solid network openings due to tensile and s ...
