Numerous researchers performed laboratory tests on crushable soils and incorporated the corresponding effects into numerical simulations. A systematic review of various studies is crucial for gaining insight into the current state of knowledge and for illuminating the required developments for upcoming research projects. The current state-of-the-art study summarizes both experimental evidence and numerical approaches, particularly focusing on discrete element simulations and constitutive models used to describe the behavior of crushable soils. The review begins by exploring particle breakage quantification, delving into experimental evidence to elucidate its influence on the mechanical behavior of granular soils, and examining the factors that affect the breakage phenomenon. In this context, the accuracy of various indices in estimating the extent of breakage has been assessed through ten series of experiments conducted on different crushable soils. Furthermore, alternative breakage indices are suggested for constitutive models to track the evolution of particle crushing under continuous shearing. Regarding numerical modeling, the review covers different approaches using the discrete element method (DEM) for simulating the behavior of crushable particulate media, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. Additionally, different families of constitutive models, including elastoplasticity, hypoplasticity, and thermodynamically based approaches, are analyzed. The performance of one model from each group is evaluated in simulating the response of Tacheng rockfill material under drained triaxial tests. Finally, new insights into the development of constitutive models and areas requiring further investigation utilizing DEM have been highlighted.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":477,"journal":{"name":"Archive of Applied Mechanics","volume":"95 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00419-025-02845-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145167874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A nonlinear fractional nonlocal Euler–Bernoulli beam model is established, incorporating the concept of fractional derivatives, considering that piezoelectric nanobeams are subjected to both applied voltage and uniform temperature conditions. The nonlinear governing equations and boundary conditions are derived through Hamilton's principle. During the solution process, the fractional integral–partial differential governing equation is initially transformed into a time-domain fractional-order ordinary differential equation using the Galerkin method. Subsequently, the resulting nonlinear time-varying equation of fractional order is addressed using a predictive correction method. Eventually, a detailed analysis is presented, examining the effect of nonlocal parameters, fractional derivatives, viscoelastic coefficients, and applied voltages have an influence on the nonlinear time response of beams. Our findings indicate that there exists a correlation between the fractional order and the nonlinear vibration behavior of viscoelastic piezoelectric nanobeams.

We demonstrate that an ideal peripheral velocity and temperature field develops for the incompressible Newtonian fluid within the gap region between the cone and the disk. We derive exact formulas for the peripheral velocity and temperature distribution as functions of latitudinal and radial coordinates. These formulas simplify to existing data when one device remains stationary. However, with simultaneous rotation, the momentum and thermal behaviors deviate from the traditional case. By analyzing the generated velocity field, we extract the progression of wall shears on both surfaces and the torque required to maintain steady rotation. Interestingly, these quantities exhibit a linear relationship with the rotation ratio parameter. Our viscous heating analysis reveals that the temperature within the gap grows proportionally to the square of the rotation ratio parameter. Consequently, the rate of heat transfer from both the cone and disk surfaces is formulated as the square of this parameter. The presented explicit expressions also allow for the straightforward identification of threshold cone/disk angles at which distinct phenomena emerge in the velocity and temperature fields. From a physical perspective, our findings indicate that flow reversal occurs at a critical gap angle when counter-rotation is present. Additionally, narrower cone-disk configurations experience higher temperatures, and enhanced heat transfer rates occur from the cone, further amplified by the rotation ratios.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":477,"journal":{"name":"Archive of Applied Mechanics","volume":"95 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00419-025-02863-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145166686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
