Small cohesion clay slope is possible to slide along the plane slip surface or log-spiral slip surface. Based on the upper bound theory and energy principle, this paper deduced the critical height of the inclined top clay slope. The sliding mode of plane slip surface and log-spiral slip surface is studied. Finally, an engineering example is analyzed and the critical height calculation is introduced.

Upper Bound Theory

From the point of view of the failure mechanism of the disturbed zone, this paper uses the limit analysis upper-bound theory to analyze the calculation formula of the loosening pressure, distinguish the difference between the vertical pressure and the horizontal pressure in the underground cavern, combine the loosening characteristics of the disturbed zone with the open-type disturbed zone and the annular disturbed zone, and construct the multirigidity slider translation and rotation failure mode to discuss the calculation method of surrounding rock loosening pressure of underground caverns in upper soft and hard rock stratum. The relevant calculation examples are given, and the application of the upper-bound theory of limit analysis is demonstrated in detail. Based on the actual engineering background, the calculation results of the calculation method of the loosening pressure of the cavity based on the upper-bound theory of the limit analysis are analyzed and compared for the different depths and different types of caverns. The difference, rationality, and applicability of the calculation results of this method are analyzed and discussed.

Upper Bound Theory

An experimental machine using elastomer rod has been developed for the forming of tee-junction on metal tubes. This was achieved by applying loading-unloading cycles to the tube and the elastomer simultaneously. The success of the operation is governed by the so called “clearance height” which controls the relationship between the displaced volume of the elastomer and the reduced length of the tube. Present experiments have confirmed the validity of the empirical expression previously found. The upper-bound theory is found to be in good agreement with experimental results, for predicting the total forming load. The experiments were performed on materials with different work-hardening characteristics. In addition, the effects of other variables on the process are examined.

Upper Bound Theory

Based on the Upper Bound Theory, a Simplified Engineering Approach is Presented to Determine the Ultimate Strength of a pin-Loaded Composite Laminate in this Papaer. According to the Upper Bound Theory, the Displacement Rate in a Given Ply is Divided into Two Zones: the Moving Zone and the Static Zone. the Applied Load Q that Associated with Displacement must be Less than the Maximum Resistance of the Laminate. in this Paper we have Discussed the Failure Region, Failure Type of each Ply and Simplified the Tsai-Wu Failure Criterion. Experiments of Single-Bolt Double-Lap Joints have been Conduncted According to ASTM D5961 Test Standard. Finally, we can Observe that the Engineering Approach is in Good Agreement with the Test Results.
