In order to offer theory base for the widely use of Roadbood EN-1 soil firming agent in road base, triaxial shearing tests are performed on road base consolidated with Roadbood EN-1 soil firming agent, cement and lime to analyze its mechanical properties. Stress-straining curve, peak strength, remnant strength, elastic modulus and shearing strength of road base consolidated with Roadbood EN-1 soil firming agent, cement and lime under different ambient pressures are measured through triaxial shearing test. The conclusions are peak strength, remnant strength and peak straining have straight line relationship with ambient pressure. Its destruction procedure can be explained with impairment. The stress-strain relation curve also indicated that Duncan-Chang Model could not be applied to road base consolidated with Roadbood EN-1 soil firming agent, cement and lime, while the modified Saenz Formula could be used to describe the stress-strain relation of it,and good agreement was obtained.

Abstract Although there are methods for testing the stress–strain relation and strength, which are the most fundamental and important properties of metallic materials, their application to small size specimens is limited. In this study, a new dimensionless elastoplastic load–displacement (EPLD-Ring) model for compressed metal rings with isotropy and constitutive power law is proposed to describe the relation between the geometric dimensions, Hollomon law parameters, load, and displacement based on energy density equivalence. Furthermore, a novel test method for the rings is developed to obtain the elastic modulus, stress–strain relation, yield strength, and tensile strength. The universality and accuracy of the model are verified within a wide range of imaginary materials via finite element analysis (FEA), and the results show that the stress–strain relations obtained with the model are more consistent with those inputted in the FEA software. Additionally, for seven metallic materials, a series of ring compression tests with various dimensions were performed. It was found that the stress–strain relations and mechanical properties predicted by the model are in agreement with the normal tensile test results. It is believed that the new method is reliable and effective for testing the mechanical properties of small size materials and tube components.

AbstractAlthough there are methods for testing the stress-strain relation and strength, which are the most fundamental and important properties of metallic materials, their application to small-volume materials and tube components is limited. In this study, based on energy density equivalence, a new dimensionless elastoplastic load-displacement model for compressed metal rings with isotropy and constitutive power law is proposed to describe the relations among the geometric dimensions, Hollomon law parameters, load, and displacement. Furthermore, a novel test method was developed to determine the elastic modulus, stress-strain relation, yield and tensile strength via ring compression test. The universality and accuracy of the method were verified within a wide range of imaginary materials using finite element analysis (FEA), and the results show that the stress-strain curves obtained by this method are consistent with those inputted in the FEA program. Additionally, a series of ring compression tests were performed for seven metallic materials. It was found that the stress-strain curves and mechanical properties predicted by the method agreed with the uniaxial tensile results. With its low material consumption, the ring compression test has the potential to be as an alternative to traditional tensile test when direct tension method is limited.

A new stress-strain relation capable of reproducing the entire stress-strain range of typical soil tests is presented. The new relation involves a total of five parameters, four of which can be inferred directly from typical test data. The fifth parameter is a fitting parameter with a relatively narrow range. The capabilities of the new relation is demonstrated by the application to various clay and sand data sets.

Abstract A differential stress-strain relation is derived for a medium composed of a face-centered cubic array of elastic spheres in contact. The stress-strain relation is based on the theory of elastic bodies in contact, and includes the effects of both normal and tangential components of contact forces. A description is given of an experiment performed as a test of the contact theories and the differential stress-strain relation derived from them. The experiment consists of a determination of wave velocities and the accompanying rates of energy dissipation in granular bars composed of face-centered cubic arrays of spheres. Experimental results indicate a close agreement between the theoretical and experimental values of wave velocity. However, as in previous experiments with single contacts, the rate of energy dissipation is found to be proportional to the square of the maximum tangential contact force rather than to the cube, as predicted by the theory for small amplitudes.
