  2. Mohr–Coulomb theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohr–Coulomb_theory

    Mohr–Coulomb theory is a mathematical model (see yield surface) describing the response of brittle materials such as concrete, or rubble piles, to shear stress as well as normal stress. Most of the classical engineering materials follow this rule in at least a portion of their shear failure envelope.

  3. Lateral earth pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_earth_pressure

    Assuming an average SMF value equal to 2/3 along Coulomb's failure surface, it has been shown that for purely frictional soils the derived coefficient value of earth pressure matches quite well with the respective one derived from Jaky's = ⁡ ′ equation. In the solution proposed by Pantelidis, [14] the SMF factor is the / ratio and what has ...

  4. Shear strength (soil) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_strength_(soil)

    For undrained, constant volume shearing, the Tresca theory may be used to predict the shear strength, but for drained conditions, the Mohr–Coulomb theory may be used. Two important theories of soil shear are the critical state theory and the steady state theory. There are key differences between the critical state condition and the steady ...

  5. Andrew N. Schofield - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_N._Schofield

    By Professor Schofield, The Mohr Coulomb equation, popularised by Terzaghi, and underpinning developments in soil mechanics since the 1930s, is simply wrong. Terzaghi made soil mechanics a science, made a mistake when he said soil’s strength is provided by cohesion and friction. [15]

  6. Gauge fixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_fixing

    Further gauge transformations that retain the Coulomb gauge condition might be made with gauge functions that satisfy ∇ 2 ψ = 0, but as the only solution to this equation that vanishes at infinity (where all fields are required to vanish) is ψ(r, t) = 0, no gauge arbitrariness remains. Because of this, the Coulomb gauge is said to be a ...

  7. Coulomb's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb's_law

    These solutions, when expressed in retarded time also correspond to the general solution of Maxwell's equations given by solutions of Liénard–Wiechert potential, due to the validity of Coulomb's law within its specific range of application. Also note that the spherical symmetry for gauss law on stationary charges is not valid for moving ...

  8. Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

    These equations are inhomogeneous versions of the wave equation, with the terms on the right side of the equation serving as the source functions for the wave. As with any wave equation, these equations lead to two types of solution: advanced potentials (which are related to the configuration of the sources at future points in time), and ...

  9. Coulomb collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb_collision

    A Coulomb collision is a binary elastic collision between two charged particles interacting through their own electric field. As with any inverse-square law , the resulting trajectories of the colliding particles is a hyperbolic Keplerian orbit .
