Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian simulation of a modified direct shear apparatus for the measurement of residual shear strengths

The simulation of large-strain geotechnical laboratory tests with conventional Lagrangian finite element method (FEM) techniques is often problematic due to excessive mesh distortion. The multiple reversal direct shear (MRDS) test can be used to measure the residual shear strength of soils in a labo...
