Numerical modeling and neural networks to identify model parameters from piezocone tests: II. Multi-parameter identification from piezocone data

Laurent Vulliet, Rafal Filip Obrzud, Andrzej Truty

This paper completes the study presented in the accompanying paper, and demonstrates a numerical algorithm for parameter prediction from the piezocone test (CPTU) data. This part deals with a development of neural network (NN) models which are able to map ...

Numerical modeling and neural networks to identify model parameters from piezocone tests: I. FEM analysis of penetration in two-phase continuum

Laurent Vulliet, Rafal Filip Obrzud, Andrzej Truty

This study presents a numerical approach designed for material parameter identification for the coupled hydro-mechanical boundary value problem (BVP) of the piezocone test (CPTU) in normally and lightly overconsolidated clayey soils. The study is presented ...

Analytical and numerical analyses of the load-bearing capacity of retaining walls laterally supported at both ends

Aurelio Muttoni, Laurent Vulliet, Vincent Labiouse, Sylvain Plumey

This paper investigates the load-bearing capacity of a perfectly smooth retaining wall laterally supported at both ends assuming that the wall fails by the development of three plastic hinges. The study considers the case of a cohesionless elastic–perfectl ...

Optimization framework for calibration of constitutive models enhanced by neural networks

Laurent Vulliet, Rafal Filip Obrzud

A two-level procedure designed for the estimation of constitutive model parameters is presented in this paper. The neural network (NN) approach at the first level is applied to achieve the first approximation of parameters. This technique is used to avoid ...
