Patents by Inventor Yunrui HAN

Yunrui HAN has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11332904
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lateral and continuous measurement method for soil parameters in a soft soil field. The method mainly comprises the following measurement steps: arranging soil strength measuring apparatuses at the front end of a towing apparatus; arranging soil strain softening relationship measuring apparatuses at the bottom end of the towing apparatus; and measuring interface friction parameters between the soil and a structure. The towing apparatus actively or passively moves in a soft soil layer to ensure that the towing apparatus partially penetrates into the to-be-measured soil layer during movement; and the penetration depth of the towing apparatus is controlled by adjusting counterweight above the towing apparatus and a towing angle.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10816448
    Abstract: A device for measuring strength and strain softening parameters of a saturated clay sample based on full-flow penetration belongs to the technical field of geotechnical, geological and environmental research. The device mainly comprises two parts: an overlying pressure loading system and a full-flow penetration system. The present invention mainly aims at the problem of incomplete backflow of the soil in the measurement of soil strength and strain softening parameters with a full-flow penetrometer for saturated clay, and applies the working principle of a traditional consolidometer to vertically pressurize a soil sample to ensure the backflow of the soil, thereby improving the applicability of the full-flow penetrometer in the measurement aspect of the soil strength and the strain softening parameters and having important practical value for test research and marine engineering design.
