Abstract:Disturbed state concept (DSC) theory maintains that the observed actual response (AR) of material under loading effects is composed of and determined by two reference state responses, namely relative intact (RI) state response and fully adjusted (FA) state response. Hardening material shows macroscopic behavior characteristics of RI response and shows negligible mesoscopic structure changes. Pore water pressure dissipation in macroscopic experiment or variance of computerized tomography (CT) value in mesoscopi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
