Finite Element Modeling of Rate-Dependent Ratcheting in Granular Materials
The present paper introduces a comprehensive model capable of describing the behavior of granular materials under cyclic loading. Its main thrust is the introduction of the “Chicago” law in a continuum approach to account for the ratcheting effects. It also emphasizes the rate-dependency as a dissipative mechanism which acts independently or jointly with the ratcheting effect. Non-associated pl...
متن کاملRatcheting of granular materials.
We investigate the quasistatic mechanical response of soils under cyclic loading using a discrete model of randomly generated convex polygons. This response exhibits a sequence of regimes, each one characterized by a linear accumulation of plastic deformation with the number of cycles. At the grain level, a quasiperiodic ratchetlike behavior is observed at the contacts, which excludes the exist...
متن کاملFinite Element Modeling of Strain Rate and Grain Size Dependency in Nanocrystalline Materials
Nanocrystalline materials show a higher strain-rate sensitivity in contrast to the conventional coarse-grained materials and a different grain size dependency. To explain these phenomenon, a finite element model is constructed that considers both grain interior and grain boundary deformation of nanocrystalline materials. The model consist of several crystalline cores with different orientations...
متن کاملMicroscopic origin of granular ratcheting.
Numerical simulations of assemblies of grains under cyclic loading exhibit "granular ratcheting:" a small net deformation occurs with each cycle, leading to a linear accumulation of deformation with cycle number. We show that this is due to a curious property of the most frequently used models of the particle-particle interaction: namely, that the potential energy stored in contacts is path dep...
متن کاملDevelopments in micromechanical modelling of granular materials
We are honouring the memory of Ioannis Vardoulakis through this special issue of Granular Matter, which is devoted to developments in micromechanical modelling of granular materials. Ioannis Vardoulakis will be forever remembered as an innovative experimentalist, a brilliantmechanician, an enthusiastic scientist, a devoted teacher, and above all an exceptional human being. The impression he mad...
