Modelling two‐dimensional heat and moisture transfer in unsaturated soils, including gravity effectsInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics - Tập 9 Số 6 - Trang 573-588 - 1985
Hywel Rhys Thomas
AbstractA theoretical model is presented to predict simultaneous transient
coupled heat and moisture transfer in partly saturated soils. The formulation is
in terms of volumetric moisture content, is two dimensional, includes
gravitational flow and takes into account latent heat of vaporization effects.
The numerical solution of the problem is accomplished by means of a finite
element solution alg... hiện toàn bộ
An accelerated algorithm for parameter identification in a hierarchical plasticity model accounting for material constraintsInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics - Tập 25 Số 3 - Trang 263-272 - 2001
L. Simoni, B. A. Schrefler
AbstractThe parameter identification procedure proposed in this paper is based
on the solution of an inverse problem, which relies on the minimization of an
error function of least‐squares type. The solution of the ensuing optimization
problem, which is a constrained one owing to the presence of physical links
between the optimization parameters, is performed by means of a particular
technique of ... hiện toàn bộ
An elasto‐viscoplastic model for diatomaceous mudstone and numerical simulation of compaction bandsInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics - Tập 35 Số 2 - Trang 244-263 - 2011
Fusao Oka, Sayuri Kimoto, Yosuke Higo, Hiroki Ohta, Taisuke Sanagawa, Takeshi Kodaka
AbstractIt is well known that highly porous rocks under relatively high
confining pressure succumb to volumetric compression with the emergence of the
so‐called compaction bands. These normally occur as perpendicular or very
slightly inclined deformation bands with respect to the direction of the most
compressive principal stress. An experimental study of diatomaceous mudstone, a
highly structured... hiện toàn bộ
Modelling of hygro‐thermal behaviour and damage of concrete at temperature above the critical point of waterInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics - Tập 26 Số 6 - Trang 537-562 - 2002
Dariusz Gawin, Francesco Pesavento, Bernhard A. Schrefler
AbstractIn this paper, a model for the analysis of the behaviour of concrete at
temperature largely exceeding critical point of water, is presented. In this
temperature range liquid phase, i.e. capillary phase, and gas phase cannot be
distinguished and only the latter exists. Consequently, capillary pressure has
no more physical meaning above this point and liquid water is present only as
physical... hiện toàn bộ
Analysis of the solid phase stress tensor in multiphase porous mediaInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics - Tập 31 Số 4 - Trang 541-581 - 2007
William G. Gray, Bernhard A. Schrefler
AbstractConservation equations for mass, momentum, energy, and entropy are
formulated for the phases and interfaces of a three‐phase system consisting of a
solid and two immiscible fluids. The microscale equations are averaged to the
macroscale by integration over a representative elementary volume. Thermodynamic
statements for each of the phases and interface entities are also formulated at
the m... hiện toàn bộ
A new device for investigating the hydro‐mechanical properties of rock jointsInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics - Tập 27 Số 6 - Trang 513-548 - 2003
Julien Hans, M. Boulon
AbstractA new experimental system composed of two devices is presented for
studying the hydraulic conductivity of rock joints and other interfaces in
relation with their mechanical loading. This system allows for investigations on
the anisotropy of the hydraulic conductivity, as well as for its heterogeneity.
The first device controls the injection of a fluid, regulated in pressure or
discharge ne... hiện toàn bộ
Integral equation solution of heat extraction from a fracture in hot dry rockInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics - Tập 25 Số 13 - Trang 1327-1338 - 2001
Alexander H.‐D. Cheng, Ahmad Ghassemi, Emmanuel Detournay
AbstractIn the study of heat extraction by circulating water in a fracture
embedded in geothermal reservoir, the heat conduction in the reservoir is
typically assumed to be one dimensional and perpendicular to the fracture. In
this paper, we demonstrate that by an integral equation formulation utilizing
Green's function, the multi‐dimensional heat flow in the reservoir can be
modelled. In the resu... hiện toàn bộ
Modeling three‐dimensional hydraulic fracture propagation using virtual multidimensional internal bondsInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics - Tập 37 Số 13 - Trang 2021-2038 - 2013
Kai Huang, Z. Zhang, Ahmad Ghassemi
SUMMARYPropagation of fractures, especially those emanating from wellbores and
closed natural fractures, often involves Mode I and Mode II, and at times Mode
III, posing significant challenges to its numerical simulation. When an embedded
inclined fracture is subjected to compression, the fracture edge is constrained
by the surrounding materials so that its true propagation pattern cannot be

A SPH framework for dynamic interaction between soil and rigid body system with hybrid contact methodInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics - Tập 44 Số 10 - Trang 1446-1471 - 2020

SummaryA smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) framework for three‐dimensional
dynamic soil‐multibody interaction modeling is presented, where both soils and
rigid bodies are discretized using SPH particles. In the framework, soils are
modeled using the Drucker‐Prager model, while rigid bodies are considered with a
multibody dynamics solver. A hybrid contact method suitable for
three‐dimensional s... hiện toàn bộ

SUMMARYSimulation of frictional contact between soils and rigid or deformable
structure in the framework of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is presented
in this study. Two algorithms are implemented into the SPH code to describe
contact behavior, where the contact forces are calculated using the law of
conservation of momentum based on ideal plastic collision or using the criteria
