Cone tip resistance and excess water pressure (EWP) measured by piezocone penetration tests (CPTU) may be significantly affected by the partially drained effect in soils with intermediate permeability. To capture this effect, the paper…

This article presents a comparison of various implementations of the Lattice Discrete Particle Model (LDPM) for the numerical simulation of concrete and other heterogeneous quasibrittle materials. The comparison involves the use of…

The input-parameter-state estimation capabilities of a novel unscented Kalman filter is examined herein on both linear and nonlinear systems. The unknown input is estimated in two stages within each time step. Firstly, the predicted dynamic…

Parameter inference and uncertainty quantification are important steps when relating mathematical models to real-world observations, and when estimating uncertainty in model predictions. However, methods for doing this can be…

Values of water permeability for cementitious materials reported in the literature show a large scatter. This is partially attributed to the fact that materials used in different studies are different. To eliminate the effects of cements,…

There is now a rapidly growing body of experimental data relevant to the question of whether the standard model CKM quark mixing matrix is a correct description of \CP-violation as well as of non--\CP-violating flavor decay processes. In…

We investigate the effect induced by variations in the density profile of the Earth's interior using a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. At first, we point out two facts. (i) The most essential part of the matter profile is the…

In construction projects, estimation of the settlement of fine-grained soils is of critical importance, and yet is a challenging task. The coefficient of consolidation for the compression index (Cc) is a key parameter in modeling the…

A thermodynamically consistent extension of the constitutive equations of saturated soils to unsaturated conditions is often worked out through the use a unique 'effective' interstitial pressure, accounting equivalently for the pressures of…

Within the calibration of material models, often the numerical results of a simulation model $y$ are compared with the experimental measurements $y^*$. Usually, the differences between measurements and simulation are minimized using least…

The heterogeneous distribution of water-repellent materials at the soil surface causes a phenomenon known as fractional wettability. This condition frequently triggers destabilization of the wetting front during water infiltration,…

Highly compacted sand-bentonite mixtures are often considered as possible engineered barriers in deep high-level radioactive waste disposals. In-situ, the saturation of these barriers from their initially unsaturated state is a complex…

We present adaptive finite element simulations of dendritic and eutectic solidification in binary and ternary alloys. The computations are based on a recently formulated phase-field model that is especially appropriate for modelling…

With the growing demand of mineral consumption, the management of the mining waste is crucial. Cemented paste backfill (CPB) is one of the techniques developed by the mining industry to fill the voids generated by the excavation of…

In this general report, experimental systems and procedures of investigating the hydro-mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils are presented. The water retention properties of unsaturated soils are commented and linked to various physical…

A novel approach to the problem of partial state estimation of nonlinear systems is proposed. The main idea is to translate the state estimation problem into one of estimation of constant, unknown parameters related to the systems initial…

We propose a method to synthesize a parameterized infinite-state systems that can be instantiated for different parameter values. The specification is given in a parameterized temporal logic that allows for data variables as well as…

We describe an experimental technique to measure the chemical potential, $\mu$, in atomically thin layered materials with high sensitivity and in the static limit. We apply the technique to a high quality graphene monolayer to map out the…

A novel centrifuge set-up for the study of unsaturated flow characteristics in porous media is examined. In this set-up, simple boundary conditions can be used, but a free moving boundary between unsaturated-saturated flow arises. A precise…

Combinatorial interaction testing (CIT) is a useful testing technique to address the interaction of input parameters in software systems. In many applications, the technique has been used as a systematic sampling technique to sample the…
