Seepage and Stability Analyses of Earth Dam Using Finite Element Method
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the results of seepage and stability analyses of the considered earth dam using finite element method and showed that increase in the Young's modulus of core and shell resulted in the decrease of the maximum crest displacement and the variation in angle of internal friction plays a vital role in fulfilment of the overall stability criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grain-size effect on uplift capacity of plate anchors in coarse granular soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the uplift capacity of plate anchors in granular soils is investigated using simulations based on a discrete element method. But the results reveal a strong deviation from these models for anchors with relatively small B/d ratios.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mobility in granular materials upon cyclic loading
Shivakumar Athani,Pierre Rognon +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the ability to move of large objects embedded in a granular material and subjected to cyclic loadings, using a discrete element method to simulate the dynamics response of intruders subjected to a vertical uplift cyclic force, exploring a wide range of loading magnitudes and frequencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inertial drag in granular media
Shivakumar Athani,Pierre Rognon +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors find evidence that the granular drag force on an object moving through a granular material is strongly enhanced when the object is accelerating, which can be explained by showing that the accelerating object accelerates the grains nearby, inducing an inertial resistance.

Inertial drag in granular media.
Shivakumar Athani,Pierre Rognon +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an elasto-inertial drag force model was introduced to capture the measured drag forces in these two regimes, which is based on observed physical processes including a gradual, elastoboxinntial mobilisation of grains located above the plate.
