Liquefaction phenomenon of granular materials and constitutive stability

Félix Darve

Liquefaction phenomenon and its catastrophic nature can be analysed as a particular material behaviour of granular media under certain loading paths. Proposes a definition of…

Finite element analysis of two‐phase instability for saturated porous hypoelastic solids under plane strain loadings

J.P. Bardet

Investigates the effects of two‐phase instability on finite element (FE) solutions for porous hypoelastic solids saturated with an insterstitial fluid. Demonstrates that two‐phase…

Computational mechanics of the excavation of tunnels

C. Kropik, H.A. Mang

Contains a report on three‐dimensional finite element (FE) analyses of deformations and stresses resulting from the excavation of shallow underground railway tunnels. Multisurface…

Thermo‐mechanical consolidation coupling analysis on jointed rock mass by the finite element method

Takeshi Sasaki, Seiji Morikawa

Describes the thermo‐mechanical consolidation coupling analysis and its discretization method for the simulations of nuclear waste storage on jointed rock mass using the finite…

Numerical formulation for a simulator (CODE_BRIGHT) for the coupled analysis of saline media

S. Olivella, A. Gens, J. Carrera, E.E. Alonso

Presents numerical aspects of the program CODE_BRIGHT, which is a simulator for COupled DEformation, BRIne, Gas and Heat transport problems. It solves the equations of mass and…

Thermo‐hydro‐mechanical analysis of partially saturated porous materials

Dariusz Gawin, Bernhard A. Schrefler, M. Galindo

Presents a fully coupled numerical model to simulate the slow transient phenomena involving heat and mass transfer in deforming partially saturated porous materials. Makes use of…
