An overview of soil heterogeneity: quantification and implications on geotechnical field problems
Download2003
Elkateb, T., Chalaturnyk, R., Robertson, P. K.
Abstract: Engineering judgment and reliance on factors of safety have been the conventional tools for dealing with soil heterogeneity in geotechnical practice. This paper presents a review of recent advances in treating soil variability. It presents the implications of geostatistical techniques...

Impact Failure of Planetary Materials: Lateral Field Ejecta Measurements using Particle Image Velocimetry
Download2014
Schneider, Markus, Spray, John, Rogers, Robert, Hogan, James, Vincent, Gregory
The dynamic fragmentation of a fine grained granitoid material has been examined. Target thicknesses ranged from 7 to 40 mm and impact energies from 12 to 2,500 J. Combined particle image velocimetry and image enhancement techniques are introduced and have been used to measure the size and...

Watt, Clare E. J., Wright, D. M. , Rankin, Robert, Rae, I. Jonathan
We present self-consistent kinetic simulations of the electron response to finite duration shear Alfven wave pulses in a magnetized plasma. In Earth's magnetosphere, the evidence suggests that parallel electric fields in inertial scale shear Alfven waves can accelerate electrons in the...

Chanasyk, D.S., Mapfumo, E., Chaikowsky, C.L.A.
Studies of spatial variability and simulation of available soil water and extractable soil water are scarce and yet such data are essential in hydrologic and solute transport modeling. A study was conducted to characterize spatial variability of available soil water and extractable soil water on...
