... Abstract This study focuses on the characteristic curves representation for the hull form based on NURBS. With view to the problems in the existing NURBS method, the path curve parameterization method is proposed so that the flow field information can be introduced into the designed curve...

... and unsaturated condition proposed by Lu & Likos(2004, 2006). The Soil-Water Characteristic Curve (SWCC) of the sand with the relative density of 75% was first measured. The Hydraulic Conductivity Function (HCF) and Suction Stress Characteristic Curve (SSCC) were subsequently estimated. Also, under the rainfall...

... based bentonite and sand. The sensitivity of moisture retention characteristic curves to the soil initial conditions such as water content, initial density, percentage of swelling constituent and overload pressure were investigated. A water adsorption parameter was defined from the moisture retention...
