Critical state shear behavior of the soil-structure interface determined by discrete element modeling

The interface between soil and structure can be referred to as a soil-structure system, and its behavior plays an important role in many geotechnical engineering practices. In this study, results are presented from a series of monotonic direct shear tests performed on a sand-structure interface under constant normal stiffness using the discrete element method (DEM). Strain localization and dilatancy behavior of the interface is carefully examined at both macroscopic and microscopic scales. The effects of soil initial relative density and normal stress on the interface shear behavior are also investigated. The results show that a shear band progressively develops along the structural surface as shear displacement increases. At large shear displacement a unique relationship between stress ratio and void ratio is reached in the shear band for a certain normal stress, indicating that a critical state exists in the shear band. It is also found that the thickness and void ratio of the shear band at the critical state decreases with increasing normal stress. Comparison of the DEM simulation results with experimental results provides insight into the shear behavior of a sand-structure interface and offers a means for quantitative modeling of such interfaces based on the critical state soil mechanics.     

Interface crack between a compressible elastomer and a rigid substrate with finite slippage

We study the deformation of a crack between a soft elastomer and a rigid substrate with finite interfacial slippage. It is assumed that slippage occurs when the interfacial shear traction exceeds a threshold. This leads to a slip zone ahead of the crack tip where the shear traction is assumed to be equal to the constant threshold. We perform asymptotic analysis and determine closed-form solutions describing the near-tip crack opening displacement and the corresponding stress distributions. These solutions are consistent with numerical results based on finite element analysis. Our results reveal that slippage can significantly affect the deformation and stress fields near the tip of the interface crack. Specifically, depending on the direction of slippage, the crack opening profile may appear more blunted or sharpened than the parabola arising from for the case of zero interfacial shear traction or free slippage. The detailed crack opening profile is determined by the constant shear traction in the slip zone. More importantly, we find that the normal stress perpendicular to the interface can increase or decrease when slippage occurs, depending on the direction of slippage and the shear traction in the slip zone.     

Prediction of wheel performance by analysis of normal and tengential stress distributions under the wheel-soil interface

Prediction of wheel performance by analysis of normal stress distribution under the wheel-soil interface was reported by one of our research members. In this study analysis of both normal and tangential stress distributions are included for the prediction of wheel performance. A visco-elastic soil model based on a three-element Maxwell model is used to evaluate normal stress distribution under a wheel running on soft ground. The values of the parameters characterizing the visco-elastic behavior of the soil can be derived from plate penetration tests. A rigid wheel-soil interface model is used to evaluate the tangential stress distribution under the wheel-soil interface. Shear deformation modulus, cohesion and angle of internal shearing resistance of the soil are derived from shear-displacement tests. Test results indicate that both maximum normal and shear stress occur in front of the wheel axle, and the location of peak normal stress shifts backwards towards the wheel axle while that of tangential stress shifts forwards when slippage is increased from a low value. Increasing slippage also causes a decrease in normal stress and an increase in tangential stress. Coefficients of traction and tractive efficiency are low at low slippage, increase with an increase in slippage, and level off at higher slippage.

A tilted pad thrust slider bearing improved by the boundary slippage

The present paper proposes a new type of hydrodynamic lubricated tilted pad thrust slider bearing which is augmented with the boundary slippage at the stationary contact surface in the inlet zone. This design is of purpose to reduce the friction coefficient but increase the load-carrying capacity of the bearing. A theoretical analysis is presented for this bearing. Computational results and design guides for this bearing are given. It is found that the most increase of the carried load of the bearing by the boundary slippage is around 30 %, while the most reduction of the friction coefficient of the bearing by the boundary slippage is more than 40 %. This advantage is reached when the boundary slippage zone occupies 80 % of the bearing lubricated area and the fluid-contact interfacial shear strength at the boundary slippage interface is very low.     

Adiabatic shear localization in the impact of edge-notched specimens

Impact experiments are performed on edgenotched specimens in the two-dimensional punch geometry. Materials tested include 18Ni(350) maraging steel; S7 tool steel; 4340, 300M, HP 9-4-20 and D-6ac ultra high-strength steels; and Ti6Al4V alloy. These materials have shown a high susceptibility to dynamic shear failure in previous studies. Impact velocity ranged from 25 m/s to 45 m/s, and shear bands were found to form at the notch tip and at the die corner on the back side of the specimen for all materials tested. Metallurgical analysis confirms the existence of adiabatic shear bands followed by a crack propagating through the fully developed shear band. High-speed photography was used to observe the initiation of adiabatic shear bands shortly after impact. Laser-etched lines on the specimen surfaces allowed the determination of the time of impact and the initiation time of shear failure. The elapsed time between the two was used to estimate the stress intensity factor at the time of shear band initiation. Comparisons of shear band initiation stress intensity factors at the notch tip and die corner are made. It is seen that the shear bands initiate at approximately the same stress intensity factor at both the notch tip and die corner. Finite element simulations support the use of a square root singularity for the stress in the plate near the corners of a deformable punch or die.

Experiments on entrainment in an annulus with and without velocity gradient across the density interface

The entrainment process in a two layer density stratified fluid column was studied experimentally by imposing external shear stress on one or both layers. The experiments have been conducted in an annular tank containing two water layers of different salt concentration and the shear stress was applied by means of rotating screens. The following quantities were measured: the screen velocity (which was kept constant during each experiment), the stress at the upper screen, and vertical profiles of circumferential velocity and density at different radial locations. When equal stress was imposed at the surface of the upper layer and at the bottom of the lower layer, entrainment took place from the two sides of the density interface at equal rate so that the interface was stationary in the central position between the two screens and there was no velocity gradient across the interface. The dependence of the entrainment coefficient on Richardson number obtained in these experiments was similar in form to that obtained in the shear-free experiments with an oscillating grid (e.g. Nokes 1988). When a shear stress was applied at the upper surface only, the upper layer depth increased with time and a velocity gradient existed at the interface. The influence of the interfacial velocity gradient on the entrainment rate was studied by comparing the rates obtained with and without this velocity gradient. The entrainment rates were approximately the same for high values of the Richardson number while at low Richardson number the entrainment rate was much larger when a velocity gradient existed across the interface. The main results of this work are as follows:

1. Despite the curved geometry of the annular system, the dependence of the entrainment coefficient on Richardson number for shear-free interface experiments was found to be similar in form to that obtained for oscillating grid experiments.
2. The entrainment across the interface is due to turbulent energy generated at some distance from the interface by an external source (i.e. shear stress induced by a screen) and due to turbulence produced locally at the interface by a velocity gradient. The relative contribution of each turbulence source to the total entrainment was found to depend on the stability of the interface.

A molecular dynamics study of the stress–optical behavior of a linear short-chain polyethylene melt under shear

In this study, we present details of the stress–optical behavior of a linear polyethylene melt under shear using a realistic potential model. We demonstrate the existence of the critical shear stress, above which the stress–optical rule (SOR) begins to be invalid. The critical shear stress of the SOR of this melt turns out to be 5.5 MPa, which is fairly higher than 3.2 MPa at which shear thinning starts, indicating that the SOR is valid up to a point well beyond the incipient point of shear thinning. Furthermore, contrary to conventional wisdom, the breakdown of the SOR turns out not to be correlated with the saturation of chain extension and orientation: It occurs at shear rates well before maximum chain extension is obtained. In addition to the stress and birefringence tensors, we also compare two important coarse-grained second-rank tensors, the conformation and orientation tensors. The birefringence, conformation, and orientation tensors display nonlinear relationships to each other at high values of the shear stress, and the deviation from linearity begins at approximately the critical shear stress for breakdown of the SOR.     

Slip at the interface between immiscible polymer melts I: method to measure slip

Slip at the interface between immiscible polymer melts remains poorly understood. A method that relies solely on rheological measurements to obtain the interfacial slip velocity uses the slip-induced deviation in the flow variables. To use the method, accurate estimates of the flow variables under the assumption of no-slip are necessary. Although such estimates can be easily derived under some cases, in general, this is not straightforward. Therefore, methods to determine the interfacial slip velocity without using estimates for the flow variables under no-slip conditions are desirable. In this work, we focus on investigations of slip at the interface between two immiscible polymer melts undergoing two-phase coaxial flow. To enable such investigations, we have adapted the Mooney method, usually used to investigate wall slip, to investigate polymer/polymer interfacial slip. Using this method, we have measured the slip velocity at the interface between polypropylene and polystyrene as a function of the interfacial stress. To determine the validity of the modified Mooney method, we also determine the slip velocity using the slip-induced deviation in the flow variables. To enable this determination, we use polypropylene and polystyrene with almost identical shear rate-dependent viscosities over a range of shear rates. The slip velocity obtained from the modified Mooney method displayed excellent agreement with that determined using the deviation from no-slip. In agreement with prior work, the dependence of the slip velocity on the interfacial stress is a power-law. Our investigation spans a sufficiently wide range of interfacial stress to enable the direct observation of two power-law regimes and also the transition between the two regimes. We also find that the power-law exponent of approximately 3 at low stresses decreases to approximately 2 at high stresses.     

Inner-outer decomposition of wall shear stress fluctuations in turbulent channels

Fluctuating wall shear stress in turbulent channel flows is decomposed into small-scale and large-scale components. The large-scale fluctuating wall shear stress is computed as the footprints of the outer turbulent motions, and the small-scale one is obtained by subtracting the large-scale one from the total, which fully remove the outer influences. We show that the statistics of the small-scale fluctuating wall shear stress is Reynolds number independent at the friction Reynolds number larger than 1000, while which is Reynolds number dependent or the low-Reynolds-number effect exists at the friction Reynolds number smaller than 1000. Therefore, a critical Reynolds number that defines the emergence of universal small-scale fluctuating wall shear stress is proposed to be 1000. The total and large-scale fluctuating wall shear stress intensities approximately follow logarithmic-linear relationships with Reynolds number, and empirical fitting expressions are given in this work.

Droplet retraction in the presence of nanoparticles with different surface modifications

We studied the influence of nanoparticles with different surface modifications on the interfacial tension and relaxation of model polymer blend after cessation of different strains. The droplet retraction experiments were carried out on a model system composed of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as the suspending fluid and polyisobutylene (PIB) as droplet at room temperature in the presence of hydrophobic and hydrophilic nanosilica. Different weight fractions of particles were dispersed in the PIB droplet before forming a dispersed droplet by using a microsyringe in shear cell. We found that applied strain, nanoparticle concentration and their thermodynamically preferred localization affect both nominal interfacial tension and droplet retraction process. By addition of nanoparticles at a concentration as low as 0.2%wt, the nominal interfacial tension decreases from 3.12?±?0.15 mN/m for neat PIB-PDMS interface depending on the surface characteristics of nanosilica. Hydrophilic nanosilica has the most effect on nominal interfacial tension and decreases it as low as 0.2?±?0.21 mN/m at 1 wt.% loading under a strain of 7. The results show that the retraction process in this system is mainly controlled by interfacial phenomena rather than bulk rheological properties. Additionally, the shape evolution of droplets changes and the retraction rate slows down in the presence of nanoparticles.     

Modelling of progressive interface failure under combined normal compression and shear stress

The present work is concerned with an analysis of progressive interface failure under normal compressive stress and varying shear stress using the cohesive crack model. The softening model is assumed and frictional linear stress at contact is accounted for. A monotonic loading in anti-plane shear of an elastic plate bonded to a rigid substrate is considered. An analytical solution is obtained by neglecting the effect of minor shear stress component in the plate. The elastic and plate interface compliances are included into the analysis. Three types of solutions are distinguished in the progressive delamination analysis, namely short, medium and long plate solutions. The analysis of quasi-static progressive delamination process clarifies the character of critical points and post-critical response of the plate. The analytical solution provides a reference benchmark for numerical algorithms of analysis of progressive interface delamination. The case of a rigid–softening interface was treated in a companion paper, where also cyclic loading was considered.     

Rheology of concentrated microgel solutions

Viscosity, modulus, and yield stress for 0–6 wt% aqueous solutions of Carbopol 941 were investigated using constant shear rate, constant shear stress, and dynamic oscillatory experiments. The microgel character of the polymer was evident from the solid-like behavior of the solutions above 1 wt%. Yield stress increased with concentration, but yield occurred at a critical shear strain of 40%, independent of concentration. The static stress-strain relationship became non-linear at ~ 25% strain, in fair agreement with the onset of non-linear response in the storage modulus at ~ 10% strain. Small strain moduli from static and low frequency measurements agreed rather well; modulus values obtained from the recoverable strain after yielding were 30–40% smaller. Solutions flowed at near-constant stress in the low shear rate regime; at higher rates the stress increases with shear rate more rapidly. The viscosity did not obey the Cox-Merz rule. Steady-state viscosity scaled with polymer concentration to the 3/4 power. Results were interpreted using a cellular, deformable sphere model for the polymer, in analogy to emulsions and foams.
