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 ...

Structural characterization of unsaturated aggregated soil

Lyesse Laloui, Laurent Vulliet, Azad Koliji

Despite the recent experimental studies of soil structure, a comprehensive understanding of the macroscopic response of a soil in relation to its structure has not yet been achieved. This lack of understanding reveals the need for further assessments of so ...

A combined neural network/gradient-based approach for the identification of constitutive model parameters using self-boring pressuremeter tests

Laurent Vulliet, Rafal Filip Obrzud

This paper presents a numerical procedure of material parameter identification for the coupled hydromechanical boundary value problem (BVP) of the self-boring pressuremeter test (SBPT) in clay. First, the neural network (NN) technique is applied to obtain ...

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 ...

Characterization of natural sand under complex dynamic loading

Laurent Vulliet, Emilie Rascol

An experimental study, conducted with an advanced triaxial press, evaluates the effect of different loading paths on the dynamic behavior of natural Swiss sand. Emphasis is put on comparison between the dynamic parameters evaluated in a single loading (wit ...
