A digital image processing method was used to calculate the local deformations and local stresses for any region on the surface of triaxial soil specimens. The principle and implementation of this digital image processing method were introduced as well as the calculation method for local mechanical properties of soil specimens. Comparisons were made between the test results calculated by the data from both the entire specimen and local regions, and it was found that the deformations were more uniform in the middle region compared with the entire specimen. In order to quantify the nonuniform characteristic of deformation, the non-uniformity coefficients of strain were defined and calculated. Traditional and end-lubricated triaxial tests were conducted under the same condition to investigate the effects of using local region data for deformation calculation on eliminating the end restraint of specimens. After the statistical analysis of all test results, it was concluded that for the tested soil specimen with the size of 39.1 mm × 80 ram, the utilization of the middle 35 mm region of traditional specimens in data processing had a better effect on eliminating end restraint compared with end lubrication. Furthermore, the local data analysis in this paper was validated through the comparisons with the test results from other researchers.展开更多

Firstly, without regard for elastic edge restraint, the wave-induced responses of elastic floating plate analyzed by the present method are in good agreement with the results from literature and experimental results. Therefore, it can be shown that the present method is valid. Secondly, three end-restraint cases （i.e., the left-end elastic restraints, the both-end elastic restraints, and the right-end elastic restraints） are proposed to reduce the vibration of floating plates, in which the spring is used to connect the sea bottom and the floating plate＇ s left （ or right ） edge. The relations between the spring stiffness and the parameters of wave-induced responses of floating plates are discussed. Moreover, the effective method to reduce the vibration of floating elastic plates can be obtained through comparison.展开更多
