Finite element methods are being used for property characterization and particularly for mechanical property analysis. Different elements are used for the soil (which is quite well documented) and for the fabric (which is not well documented). Results are particularly important in indicating the amount of deformation that the fabric will undergo and also information about anchoring, thereby giving an estimate of the required friction between the fabric and the soil. 1, record 1, English, - property%20characterization

La caractérisation d'un matériau conduit essentiellement à la détermination des constantes indépendantes nécessaires aux calculs de dimensionnement des pièces élaborées avec ce matériau. La caractérisation permet d'évaluer les grandeurs à rupture du matériau dans le temps en fonction de la température, en fatigue ou éventuellement en présence d'agents agressifs. De même, la caractérisation doit permettre d'accéder aux valeurs des constantes thermiques [...] et physiques. 1, record 1, French, - caract%C3%A9risation
