Influence of pore fluid viscosity on the dynamic properties of an artificial clay / A. Turan in Journal of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, Vol. 137 N° 12 (Décembre 2011) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering > Vol. 137 N° 12 (Décembre 2011) . - pp. 1190-1201 Titre : Influence of pore fluid viscosity on the dynamic properties of an artificial clay Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : A. Turan, Auteur ; S. D. Hinchberger, Auteur ; M. H. El Naggar, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 1190-1201 Note générale : Géotechnique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Geotechnical  models  Soil  dynamics  Clays  Damping  Shear  Thermal  properties  Cyclic  tests Résumé : This paper presents the results of vane shear, laboratory compaction, isotropic consolidation, cyclic triaxial, bender element, and resonant-column tests that were performed to characterize the dynamic properties of an artificial soil called modified glyben. Modified glyben comprises a mixture of glycerin, water, and bentonite that can be used in scaled model tests performed at 1 G or  n G in a centrifuge to study seismic soil–structure interaction. The results described in this paper show that the vane shear strength, coefficient of consolidation, dynamic modulus, and damping ratio are strongly influenced by the viscosity of the pore fluid which can be varied by altering the ratio of glycerin-to-water. In addition, the properties of modified glyben are stable during prolonged exposure to air and multiple largestrain load cycles making it a suitable model soil for scaled model tests involving seismic soil–structure interaction.

Laminarization of internal flows under the combined effect of strong curvature and rotation / K. M. Guleren in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering, Vol. 130 N° 9 (Septembre 2008)

Note générale : Fluids engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Internal  flow;  curvature;  rotation;  laminarization Résumé : The laminarization phenomenon for the flow under the combined effect of strong curvature and rotation is discussed based on numerical predictions of large-eddy simulation (LES). Initially, the laminarization process is presented for the fully developed flow inside a spanwise rotating straight square duct. LES predictions over a wide range of rotation numbers (Ro=0–5) show that the turbulent kinetic energy decreases monotonically apart from 0.2 En ligne : http://fluidsengineering.asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/Issue.aspx?issueID=27337 [...] [article] Laminarization of internal flows under the combined effect of strong curvature and rotation [texte imprimé] / K.

Mechanical characterization of an artificial clay / A. Turan in Journal of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, Vol. 135 N°2 (Février 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering > Vol. 135 N°2 (Février 2009) . - pp. 280–290 Titre : Mechanical characterization of an artificial clay Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : A. Turan, Auteur ; S. D. Hinchberger, Auteur ; M. H. El Naggar, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 280–290 Note générale : Geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Geotechnical  models  Soil  dynamics  Clays  Damping  Shear  Thermal  factors  Cyclic  tests Résumé : Glyben is an artificial soil comprising bentonite mixed with glycerin that has been used recently in scaled model tests to study seismic soil structure interaction. In spite of recent interest in glyben, factors affecting the dynamic properties of this material have not been well established. This paper presents the results of vane shear tests, cyclic triaxial tests, resonant column tests and bender element tests undertaken to characterize the dynamic properties of glyben. The results show that the modulus ratio of glyben decreases with increasing shear strain amplitude similar to that observed for natural clays. However, there are significant thixotropic changes in the properties of glyben after mixing bentonite with glycerin. In addition, glyben exhibits time-dependent volumetric compression after the application of isotropic consolidation pressure, the damping ratio of glyben is higher than that of natural clays and the dynamic properties of glyben are strongly influenced by temperature. These factors should be considered when interpreting the results of scaled physical model tests using glyben.
