Abstract
A critical state plasticity model is proposed to describe the anisotropic sand behaviour under both proportional and non‐proportional loading conditions. An evolving fabric tensor is introduced into the model to reflect the influence of fabric anisotropy on the stress‐strain relation of sand. By employing a fabric‐dependent plastic flow direction, the non‐coaxial response can be simulated in a simple way. A non‐proportional loading mechanism is incorporated to consider the plastic deformation induced by the stress increment tangential to the yield surface. The influence of accumulative plastic strain on the dilatancy function and plastic modulus is properly considered, enabling the model to reasonably capture the evolutions of volumetric and deviatoric strains under both drained and undrained principal stress axes rotation. The model was validated based on the simulations of experimental results for monotonic loading and pure principal stress axes rotation tests covering a wide range of conditions.
期刊介绍:
The journal welcomes manuscripts that substantially contribute to the understanding of the complex mechanical behaviour of geomaterials (soils, rocks, concrete, ice, snow, and powders), through innovative experimental techniques, and/or through the development of novel numerical or hybrid experimental/numerical modelling concepts in geomechanics. Topics of interest include instabilities and localization, interface and surface phenomena, fracture and failure, multi-physics and other time-dependent phenomena, micromechanics and multi-scale methods, and inverse analysis and stochastic methods. Papers related to energy and environmental issues are particularly welcome. The illustration of the proposed methods and techniques to engineering problems is encouraged. However, manuscripts dealing with applications of existing methods, or proposing incremental improvements to existing methods – in particular marginal extensions of existing analytical solutions or numerical methods – will not be considered for review.
