Yielding of unsaturated soil.
Considerable efforts have been made in recent years to develop a better understanding of the mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils in terms of elastoplastic critical state constitutive models. These models are defined in terms of four independent stress state variables : mean net stress, …

The yielding transition in soft materials
… observed property in soft materials is yielding: the reversible transition of a material from solid-like deformation to fluid-like flow as the deformation on the material increases past some threshold. While yielding has traditionally been modeled in a constitutive sense as a binary …

Seismic analysis of pipelines with yielding supports
… stresses, causing the support to yield. The yielding of a support can influence the response at the other supports in the pipeline, and in some cases cause failure of the supports to occur. This thesis investigates the effect yielding of an internal pipe hangar support in a two-span pipeline …

YIELDING PHENOMENA IN MICROGEL SUSPENSIONS ACROSS LENGTH SCALES
… stress—is exceeded. Fundamental aspects of this yielding transition, including structural and dynamic precursors, reversibility, local-scale phenomena, and the role of microstructure, remain active areas of investigation. Typically, YSFs consist of network structures, such as fiber gels or …

Nutrient uptake and partitioning in high-yielding corn
… nutrient accumulation patterns for corn yielding 12.0 Mg ha-1. The results of Chapter 1 suggest that nutrient requirements for production and the quantity of nutrient removal have increased markedly over the past 50 years. Resulting accumulation figures also showed that P, S, Zn, and Cu …

Suspension, yielding, microstructure and applications of bacterial cellulose dispersion
… been widely studied, but the local aspects of yielding, and the effects of particle shape on suspension performance are still not well-understood. This work examines the unique yielding of bacterial cellulose fiber networks using a new microrheology technique developed specifically for this …

Innovative foliar micronutrient sources in high-yielding corn environments
"Under high-yield conditions, adequate nutrient availability often limits corn (Zea mays L.) growth and productivity. Nitrogen (N), potassium (K), and boron (B) accumulation mainly occurs before flowering compared to the uptake of phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), and zinc (Zn), which primarily occurs …

Agronomic management to improve corn productivity under high-yielding environments
… employed to improve corn productivity under high-yielding environments which encompasses three research areas: How Does Plant Spatial Arrangement Affect Plant Architecture, Growth and Development, and Grain Yield? Narrower row spacings were documented as a viable method to manage greater plant …

A theory for the time dependent yielding and creep of clay
The purpose of this study was to develop a theory for clay deformation that models the behavior represented by Bjerrum's time lines (Bjerrum (1961). The theory models time-dependent compression (secondary compression) and the "aging" effect, or increase in preconsolidation pressure with time under …

A study of the maximum transient response of simple fully yielding structures
… features of the transient response of fully yielding structures to a dynamic exciting force. The study was concerned with an estimation of the maximum possible peak-to-peak amplitude of simple idealised models subjected to pulses of a sinusoidal nature. The study was mainly centred around the …
