dewatering during excavation

Submitted by samson on
research

when I model excavation with low permeablity soil problem is not converging,due to the negligible vaule of excess pore pressure throught the soil.How can I resove this problem for the real excavation time .(If I run the analysis within very short period of time , results can be obtained under undrained ccondition)



how can I model dewatering during excavation using ABAQUS

Is two point tensor a REAL tensor?

Submitted by xiashengxu on

Two-point tensor appears in some of continnuum mechanics reference books.

1. In wikipedia, two-point tensor is interperated as:" Two-point tensors, or double vectors, are tensor-like quantities which ... " 

2.Physically speaking, a tensor is a quantity that should not be changed by coordinate transformation while two-point tensor seems to have essential relationship with coordinates.
