Fractal and Fractional, Volume 6, Issue 2

2022 February - 76 articles

Cover Story: The strength of the soil–structure interface can be mobilized when subjected to cyclic loading. To capture the cyclic mobilization of the soil–structure interface, an advanced elastoplastic approach within the framework of fractional plasticity is developed, where no additional plastic potential is required. Further numerical implementation shows that this approach can reasonably capture the mobilized strength and deformation of the soil–structure interface under cyclic loads. View this paper
