Happiness is summarizing your research in a paper 😍
🔄 Together with Merita Tafili, Manuel Bode, Wolfgang Fellin & Torsten Wichtmann, we investigated different cyclic loading paths 🔃: "Clay hypoplasticity coupled with small-strain approaches for complex cyclic loading", Acta Geotechnica https://t.co/eVWX3DWiTe

Oh, and I forgot to tag @geogebra. Thanks as always for the great software ⬇️
💥There are different formulations for the Critical State Line (CSL) in void ratio e - mean effective stress p' plane. You can try to fit David Reid's critical state data with some formulations: https://t.co/GsVRkYPXX5 Thanks to David for the data 🙏 #AnimatingSoilModels

Ready to dive deep into the world of sand liquefaction with our article "A hypoplastic model for pre- and post- liquefaction analysis of sands" #Computers &#Geotechnics
https://t.co/bLcaVdHLE7 Can you differentiate easily between simulations and lab data?

In our recent work, together with Jose Duque Felfle, David Masin and Torsten Wichtmann we propose an extended hypoplastic constitutive model tailored specifically for (#cyclic) #liquefaction analysis...

💫Response envelopes are a good graphical way of checking constitutive equations. 🟡They are also useful for showing that hypoplasticity is just an elastic model L : ε̇ shifted by N ||ε̇||: σ̇ = L : ε̇ + N ||ε̇|| #AnimatingSoilModels using @geogebra LINK: https://t.co/nvGrfFM5KS

🪩 -> 💫 Part II of the response envelopes with hypoplasticity (von Wolffersdorff, 1996). You can vary the parameters and also see how the current stress state affects the response envelope. #AnimatingSoilModels using @geogebra 🧮 LINK: https://t.co/I1xGErfKli

I missed #AnimatingSoilModels. So I visualised Mohr's circle with @geogebra. In the interactive figure you can vary the radius and move point A and centre point C: https://t.co/YpWZqyKfgH

Many thanks to you, Gertraud! Always enjoying working with you. This work was completed during my guest professorship in Innsbruck -> many thanks to @uniinnsbruck
@ruhrunibochum
Many thanks to all co-authors for this nice and interesting collaboration, especially to @MeritaTafili, for pushing the revision process 🚀. It was once again great to share the main responsibility with you, Merita. - @FWF_at, @dfg_public @ruhrunibochum, @uniinnsbruck funded.

1/n. We were discussing this comic by @xkcd while examining simulated lunar regolith, today. It came from this great piece about research by physicist Dr. Karen Daniels on why SAND PHYSICS is so dang difficult. (THREAD) https://t.co/UV0YmPx3fm

Highly recommended!
My colleague Wolfgang Fellin makes his short & very insightful videos for teaching soil mechanics available under an open CC BY licence: https://t.co/gZRfBiSpBy I highly recommended them for educational purposes!

Thanks to all for the nice exchange in Würzburg and to you Gertraud for the nice presentation of our work!
🙂 Thanks to all, for the nice and interesting conference 'Fachsektionstage Geotechnik' in Würzburg. Together with @MeritaTafili, we presented simulations of cyclic, multiaxial DSS tests with hypoplasticity. Thanks to @uniinnsbruck, @FWF_at, @dfg_public for funding.
