Bounding the localized to ductile transition in porous rocks: implications for geo-reservoirs

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Gabriel Gérard Dominique Meyer

Porous rocks have long been the focus of intense research driven by their importance in our society as host to our most essential resources (oil, gas, water, geothermal energy, etc), yet their rheology remains poorly understood. With increasing depth, poro ...

Three-Dimensional Numerical Modelling of Al-Salam Storm Water Pumping Station in Saudi Arabia

Azin Amini, Azad Koliji

The Al-Salam Pump Station will be constructed in the framework of Jeddah Storm water Masterplan (JSWM) in Saudi Arabia. The station discharges the incoming flow from the Al-Salam storm tunnel to the Red Sea. Its structure includes a circular deep wet well ...

Yielding of a quartz sand from saturated to dry state

Alessio Ferrari

The paper presents the results of an experimental work where we analyse the behaviour of an unsaturated quartz sand in a wide range of degree of saturation (from saturated to dry state). The possibility of anticipating the hydro-mechanical behaviour of the ...

Glenoid bone strain after anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty: In vitro measurements with micro-CT and digital volume correlation

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Yasmine Boulanaache

Glenoid implant loosening remains a major source of failure and concern after anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA). It is assumed to be associated with eccentric loading and excessive bone strain, but direct measurement of bone strain after aTSA i ...

Mechanical and hydraulic transport properties of transverse-isotropic Gneiss deformed under deep reservoir stress and pressure conditions

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Mateo Alejandro Acosta

In central Europe, many geo-energy reservoirs have revealed to be hosted in transverse isotropic crystalline rock, where the rock's mechanical and hydraulic transport properties are poorly constrained. Here, we performed triaxial experiments on Cresciano G ...

Experimental push-out investigation on the in-plane force-deformation behavior of integrally-attached timber Through-Tenon joints

Yves Weinand, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Henry V. Burton

Spurred by developments in digital fabrication, there has been an increase in the application of the Integral Mechanical Attachment (IMA) technique in timber plate structures. Despite its increase in popularity, there have been very few systematic investig ...

Reservoir stimulation’s effect on depletion-induced seismicity

Lyesse Laloui, Barnaby Padraig Fryer, Gunter Siddiqi

Depletion-induced seismicity can pose a problem in some fluid-producing subsurface reservoirs, in some cases requiring production rate control in order to limit the seismicity. This study investigates the use of reservoir stimulation to reduce the depletio ...

The role of the stress regime on microseismicity induced by overpressure and cooling in geologic carbon storage

Victor Vilarrasa Riano

Fluid injection in deep geological formations usually induces microseismicity. In particular, industrial-scale injection of CO2 may induce a large number of microseismic events. Since CO2 is likely to reach the storage formation at a lower temperature than ...

Paul-Mohr-Coulomb failure surface of rock in the brittle regime

Roman Makhnenko

The Paul-Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion includes the intermediate principal stress sigma(II) and friction angles at the limiting stress states of sigma(II)= sigma(III) and sigma(II) = sigma(I), where sigma(I) and sigma(III) are major and minor principal st ...

Force-based higher-order beam element with flexural–shear–torsional interaction in 3D frames. Part I: Theory

João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida

An innovative higher-order beam theory, capable of accurately taking into account flexural–shear–torsional interaction, is originally combined with a force-based formulation to derive the corresponding finite element. The selected set of higher-order defor ...

Interaction between in-plane shear forces and transverse bending moments in concrete bridge webs

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Marie-Rose Backes

This paper investigates a reliable design approach for reinforced concrete panels subjected to the combined action of in-plane shear and out-of-plane bending moments, which develop in webs of boxgirder bridges and similar structures. Neglecting this intera ...

Influence of Residual Stresses on Fatigue Response of Welded Tubular K-Joints

Claire Acevedo

Seeking light and transparent bridge designs, engineers and architects have found an efficient and artistic way to fulfill their requirements: steel tubular bridges. In these modern tubular truss bridges, welded K-joints have been shown to be critically su ...

Multiaxial Yield and Fracture of Replicated Microcellular Aluminium

Etienne Combaz

This work addresses the behaviour of replicated microcellular pure aluminium under multiaxial stress states and in the presence of stress and strain localization sites. Processing of the foam was conducted in-house, using the replication process. The main ...

Differential effects of reduced cyclic stretch and perturbed shear stress within the arterial wall and on smooth muscle function

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Tyler Nerton Thacher

Cyclic circumferential stretch and shear stress act in concert and yet are capable of independently mediating arterial smooth muscle function, modulating the production of superoxide and stimulating arterial remodeling. ...

Part II: Fibroblasts preferentially migrate in the direction of principal strain

Matthias Lütolf, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

A growing body of evidence suggests that the sensory information from the cytoskeleton and integrins may be responsible for guiding migration during mechano- and haptotaxis. However, the dual function of these subcellular structures as mechano-sensors and ...

Thermo-plasticity in unsaturated soils, a constitutive approach

Lyesse Laloui, Bertrand François

Research interest in the thermo-mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils is growing as a result of an increasing number of geomechanical problems involving both thermal and unsaturated effects. A new constitutive model dealing with partially saturated soi ...
