Abstract
A hypoplastic model is proposed to simulate the mechanical properties of hydrate-bearing sand during dissociation by incorporating relative breakage ratio, hydrate bonding force, and degradation solid hardness. The relative breakage ratio and an internal tensor are introduced to describe the effect of grain breakage and hydrate bonding force of hydrate-bearing sand. Moreover, the evolution of the solid hardness is used for the creep behavior of the hydrate-bearing sand. The validation of model performance is conducted by simulating different types of laboratory experiments, including triaxial compression and dissociation tests of hydrate-bearing sand.
期刊介绍:
Acta Geotechnica is an international journal devoted to the publication and dissemination of basic and applied research in geoengineering – an interdisciplinary field dealing with geomaterials such as soils and rocks. Coverage emphasizes the interplay between geomechanical models and their engineering applications. The journal presents original research papers on fundamental concepts in geomechanics and their novel applications in geoengineering based on experimental, analytical and/or numerical approaches. The main purpose of the journal is to foster understanding of the fundamental mechanisms behind the phenomena and processes in geomaterials, from kilometer-scale problems as they occur in geoscience, and down to the nano-scale, with their potential impact on geoengineering. The journal strives to report and archive progress in the field in a timely manner, presenting research papers, review articles, short notes and letters to the editors.
