RAST Model: simulation of tensiotraces to facilitate drophad engineering
Tensiography is a technique that determines the physical and chemical properties of a liquid by illuminating a growing pendant drop from within using a source fibre. Light reflected internally at the surface of the drop is recieved by a collector fibre and is converted into an electric signal called a tensiotrace, which is a graph of reflected light as a function of drop volume. The instrument obtaining this signal is called multianalyser. A numerical model that simulates tensiotraces through a raytracing analysis (RAST - Raytracing Analysis for the Simulation of Tensiotraces) of the multianalyser as been developed to define theoretically how the tensiotrace describes the physical and chemical properties of a liquid. The purpose of this study is to investigate the model as an engineering/design assistant leading to discoveries and improvements to the multianalyser.
In this paper,the soil disturbance induced by the construction process of dry-cement jet mixing columns,the change of the radial stress and the tangential stress,and the analytial solution of the radial displacement are all analysed in this paper,the analytial solution to the boundary between the plastic section and the elastic section is also included.
