Information on moisture distribution patterns under point-source trickle emitters is a pre-requisite for the design and operation of trickle-irrigation systems. The distribution pattern is in#uenced by the soil properties and the manner water is applied and withdrawn from the soil pro"le. Flow from

✦ Synopsis
A series of stress histories were detected successfully by plate explosive impact, using piezoelectric crystal gauges pre-positioned at di!erent depths of clayey and sandy soils. The soil dynamic constitutive relation was obtained from the measured stress histories, by "tting a stress}depth}time surface. Results showed that the stress}strain curves had obvious stagnant-return phenomena, strain rate e!ect and waveform dissipation. These properties are important for correct evaluation of the dynamic behaviour of soils. Di!erent deformation characteristics of soils were found at di!erent depths. The surface layer displayed #uid elastoplastic property, while the middle and deeper layer displayed viscoplastic and elastic properties, respectively.

A response surface methodology which employs an orthogonal regression technique and a third-order correction was used to determine in situ engineering properties of an untilled and a tilled Yolo loam soil. The technique employed an elasto-plastic constitutive material model for soil with Drucker Pra
