New basis for the constitutive modelling of aggregated soils

Lyesse Laloui, Laurent Vulliet, Azad Koliji

Natural and compacted soils are usually characterized by aggregation of particles. The mechanical behaviour of these materials depends on soil structure. The oedometric compression tests performed on aggregated samples presented here showed that these mate ...

A multi-channel objective model for the Full-Reference assessment of color pictures

Touradj Ebrahimi, Francesca De Simone, Michael Ansorge

This paper presents a new approach for the design of a full reference objective quality metric for the assessment of color pictures. Our goal is to build a multi-channel metric based on the perceptual weighting of single-channel metrics. A psycho-visual ex ...

Interaction sol-structure dans le domaine des tranchées couvertes

Sylvain Plumey

The present research on cut-and-cover tunnels gives a theoretical contribution to the understanding of the behaviour of these structures up to their ultimate limit state. A simplified method inspired on the convergence-confinement method is investigated an ...

Numerics for geotechnics and structures. Recent developments in ZSoil.PC

Civil engineers are more and more often confronted with constructions in urban environment. It is then essential to be able to accurately assess the initial state, and the evolution of the safety during construction stages. While traditional geotechnical e ...

Numerical studies on soil moisture distributions in heterogeneous catchments

Andrea Rinaldo, Gianluca Botter

[1] The paper deals with numerical studies of basin-scale dynamics of soil moisture in arbitrarily heterogeneous conditions (i.e., in presence of heterogeneity of climate, soil, vegetation and land use). Its relevance stems from comparative analysis of the ...

Safety factor corrections to the magnetohydrodynamic internal kink mode in a tokamak

Jonathan Graves

It has long been acknowledged that the well known and frequently used stability criterion beta(p)< 0.3 for the toroidal ideal magnetohydrodynamic internal kink mode in a tokamak is inaccurate for an empirically relevant safety factor. The present paper out ...

Plasticity in soil-structure interaction applied to cut-and-cover tunnels

Aurelio Muttoni, Laurent Vulliet, Vincent Labiouse, Sylvain Plumey

Cut-and-cover tunnels behavior at ultimate limit state depends strongly on the interactions between the foundation soil, the backfill and the reinforced concrete structure. Characterization of the potential failure modes of these types of structure necessi ...

Fast and accurate boundary variation method for multilayered diffraction optics

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

A boundary variation method for the forward modeling of multilayered diffraction optics is presented. The approach permits fast and high-order accurate modeling of periodic transmission optics consisting of an arbitrary number of materials and interfaces o ...

A class of exact solutions for Richards’ equation

David Andrew Barry

A new solution satisfying Richards' equation is derived. The solution, which may be applied for infiltration or capillary rise, is valid for the condition of an arbitrary moisture tension imposed at the soil surface. When written in terms of the moisture t ...

Exact solutions for a class of master equations

Max-Olivier Hongler

We present a class of markovian jump stochastic processes which is a generalization of the celebrated Cauchy process. Our models are subordinated to non-linear diffusion processes, a property which allows an intuitive insight of the dynamics involved. Furt ...
