Hybrid analysis for continua with solid and liquid properties in infinite high tubes

Abstract

Many materials like sand, soil, cement, snow and grain, perform like solids or liquids depending on loads and boundary conditions. The proposed coupled solid-liquid analysis has the potential to deal conveniently with the severe nonlinearities that are associated with single state descriptions. Linear elastic behavior characterizes the solid part. Slowly moving incompressible viscous behavior characterizes the liquid part.
