Deep rocks are typically under a true-triaxial stress state. The strength of deep rock is thus
dictated by both the direction and magnitude of principal stresses. The formulation of three …

Reinforced concrete construction is the most popular construction material so far and has
significantly contributed to the constantly expanding infrastructure. Nonetheless, this …

A novel three-dimensional (3D) fractional plastic flow rule that is not limited by the
coordinate basis of the differentiable function is proposed based on the fractional derivative …

The existing test results and semi-empirical equations of the rate-dependent concrete
strength have overestimated the actual dynamic strength because they do not distinguish …

A thermodynamically consistent formulation to model anisotropic damage for quasi-brittle
materials is proposed. The model is based on proper expressions for the specific Gibbs free …

Particle shape has a significant effect on the shear strength and shear dilatancy properties of
granular materials. This study presents a granular thermodynamic theory investigate the …

Great efforts have been made in investigating the effect of buried depth influencing the
seismic response of rectangular underground structures, however, a consensus hasn't been …

In this study, the effects of strain rate, fiber type, and hybrid fiber content on the dynamic
mechanical properties of basalt-polypropylene fiber reinforced coral aggregate concrete …

The core mission to establish elastoplastic constitutive model is how to determine the
magnitude and direction of plastic strain increment for material under the given load …

The use of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) in protective structures has gained
worldwide interest due to its superior mechanical characteristics. At present, hydrocode …
