On the necessity for rotational yielding in anisotropic plasticity (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Coombs, W., Crouch, R., & Augarde, C. (2009, December). On the necessity for rotational yielding in anisotropic plasticity. Presented at 17th UK Conference on Computational Mechanics (ACME), Nottingham, England

Following suggestions by Masın [1], this paper re-examines whether the inelastic irrecoverable deformation of cohesive geomaterials can be adequately captured by Bounding Surface-type plasticity models with isotropic outer-surfaces (such as that prop...

Parallel Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization and Applications in Geotechnical Engineering (2009)
Book Chapter
Zhang, Y., Gallipoli, D., & Augarde, C. (2009). Parallel Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization and Applications in Geotechnical Engineering. In Z. Cai, Z. Li, Z. Kang, & Y. Liu (Eds.), Advances in computation and intelligence (466-475). Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-04843-2_49

A novel parallel hybrid particle swarm optimization algorithm named hmPSO is presented. The new algorithm combines particle swarm optimization (PSO) with a local search method which aims to accelerate the rate of convergence. The PSO provides initial...

The strength of unstabilised rammed earth materials (2009)
Journal Article
Jaquin, P., Augarde, C., Gallipoli, D., & Toll, D. (2009). The strength of unstabilised rammed earth materials. Géotechnique, 59(5), 487-490. https://doi.org/10.1680/geot.2007.00129

Rammed earth is a manufactured material comprising sand, gravel and clay, which is compacted between forms to build walls. Primarily a historic method of construction, it is now receiving considerable interest worldwide owing to its zero reliance on... Read More about The strength of unstabilised rammed earth materials.

Simulation-based calibration of geotechnical parameters using parallel hybrid moving boundary particle swarm optimization (2009)
Journal Article
Zhang, Y., Gallipoli, D., & Augarde, C. (2009). Simulation-based calibration of geotechnical parameters using parallel hybrid moving boundary particle swarm optimization. Computers and Geotechnics, 36(4), 604-615. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compgeo.2008.09.005

Simulation-based optimization methods have been recently proposed for calibrating geotechnical models from laboratory and field tests. In these methods, geotechnical parameters are identified by matching model predictions to experimental data, i.e. b...
