This contribution focuses specifically on the properties of the top layer of soil which fundamentally influences the rainfall-runoff process, but the laboratory experimental proce-dures for the top-soil are very limited due to e.g. vegetation disturbing the experimental samples. The Richards equation describing the soil water flow process is here parameterised by the Mualem-van Genuchten model. The identification of the soil hydraulic parameters of this model is based on an in situ measurement of the single ring infiltration experiment. The experimental data and a priori information about parameters’ values are combined according to Bayes’ rule in order to obtain an updated probabilistic description of unknown parameters. The Bayesian inference is realized by the Markov chain Carlo method based on a less time-consuming polynomial approximation of the Mualem-van Genuchten model.","PeriodicalId":197313,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Mechanics 2019","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129285812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research was carried out using the finite element method with the application of the ABAQUS program. The optimal solutions for individual material systems were generated based on numerical analyses, thereby classifying them according to the mass-efficiency criterion. The numerical results obtained were validated in a ballistic experiment on samples made according to the methodology adopted for modeling. The range of absorbed energy and residual energy was determined for material systems based on the assumptions of the Recht-Ipson model.","PeriodicalId":197313,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Mechanics 2019","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125868837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The penalty method is a standard method for enforced contact constrains in dynamic problems. This method is easily implemented but the solution depends on numerical value of the stiffness penalty parameter and also the stability limit for explicit time integration is effected by a choice of this parameter. The bipenalty method is based on penalized not only stiffness term but also mass term concurrently. By this technique with a special ratio of mass and stiffness penalty parameters, the stability limit of contact-free problem is preserved. In this contribution, we also present a modification of the explicit time scheme based on predictor-corrector form. By meaning of this approach, spurious contact oscillations are eliminated and the results do not depend on numerical parameters.","PeriodicalId":197313,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Mechanics 2019","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127492420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
