Hollow cylinder torsional devices have recently attracted the attention of both researchers and practitioners as tools of great promise to be used in the development of constitutive relations as well as in the determination of strength parameters of both isotropic and anisotropic soils. They are a natural extension of the standard triaxial devices and provide a much wider variety of stress paths to be investigated or to simulate. This state-of-the-art paper reviews the relevant literature, examines the advantages and limitations of these devices, and discusses some of the difficulties encountered in their use. Their versatility is pointed out, and the role they play in the development of constitutive relations is evaluated. Examples, drawn from both static and dynamic conditions, help illustrate the wide variety of stress paths these devices are capable of producing.

Cubical devices: versatility and constraints : Arthur, J R F Proc Symposium on Advanced Triaxial Testing of Soil and Rock, Louisville, 19–20 June 1986P743–765. Publ Philadelphia: ASTM, 1988 (ASTM Special Technical Publication 977)

The main types of cubical shear devices are described and classified according to the applied boundary conditions. There is no attempt to include all or even a large selection of individual designs; examples are used to develop a critical review of the types used presently and the way in which these are evaluated. The need to consider the material and specimen to be tested when deciding on the appropriate shear device is emphasized. The chosen examples amply illustrate the wide range of uses of the devices; special attention is given to the application of controlled rotation of principal stress directions. The capability of cubical devices to accept undisturbed samples after straightforward trimming is seen as enough to ensure future developments. A major theme is constraint unintentionally imposed through the boundaries; recognition, assessment, and reduction or elimination of boundary constraint are extensively considered. Classification of stress-strain data as true, comparative, or corrected is advocated as a means of ensuring proper data quality. An example is given from current work at the author's laboratory.
