Physical modeling and arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian finite element analysis of indentation of a sensitive clay by a flat-ended axisymmetrical indenter

Abstract Because indentation tests which are used in several engineering fields allow obtaining material strength parameters in a fast, reliable and reproducible manner, the present study was initiated with the aim of finding out whether such tests could also be used in geotechnical engineering. Exp...
