A multiphase constitutive modeling framework for unsaturated soil behavior
Giang D. Nguyen, Yixiang Gan
We develop a framework for constitutive modeling of unsaturated soils that has the embedded elements of lower scale grain to grain contacts. Continuum models developed from this fr…
Effects of surface structure deformation on static friction at fractal interfaces
Dorian A H Hanaor, Yixiang Gan, Itai Einav
The evolution of fractal surface structures with flattening of asperities was investigated using isotropically roughened aluminium surfaces loaded in compression. It was found that…
A Particle-Water Based Model for Water Retention Hysteresis
Yixiang Gan, Federico Maggi, Giuseppe Buscarnera +1
A particle-water discrete element based approach to describe water movement in partially saturated granular media is presented and tested. Water potential is governed by both capil…
