A Constitutive Model for Time-Dependent Behavior of Clay
نویسنده
چکیده
A new elastic-viscoplastic (EVP) constitutive model is proposed for the analysis of time-dependent behavior of clay. The proposed model is based on the bounding surface plasticity and the concept of viscoplastic consistency framework to establish continuous transition from plasticity to rate dependent viscoplasticity. Unlike the overstress based models, this model will meet the consistency condition in formulating the constitutive equation for EVP model. The procedure of deriving the constitutive relationship is also presented. Simulation results and comparisons with experimental data are then presented to demonstrate the performance of the model. Keywords—Bounding surface, consistency theory, constitutive model, viscosity.

Least Squares Support Vector Machine for Constitutive Modeling of Clay
Constitutive modeling of clay is an important research in geotechnical engineering. It is difficult to use precise mathematical expressions to approximate stress-strain relationship of clay. Artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) have been successfully used in constitutive modeling of clay. However, generalization ability of ANN has some limitations, and application of...
متن کاملA simple and efficient plasticity-fracture constitutive model for confined concrete
A plasticity-fracture constitutive model is presented for prediction of the behavior of confined plain concrete. A three-parameter yield surface is used to define the elastic limit. Volumetric plastic strain is defined as hardening parameter, which together with a nonlinear plastic potential forms a non-associated flow rule. The use of non-associated flow rule improves the prediction of the dil...

متن کاملRate dependent finite strain constitutive modeling of polyurethane and polyurethane–clay nanocomposites
A finite strain nonlinear viscoplastic constitutive model for polyurethane (PU)–Montmorillonite clay (MTM) nanocomposites is developed with the goal of characterizing the mechanical response under different strain rates and strain amplitudes. In this model, both the elastic and viscous responses are considered to be nonlinear. It is shown that a simple mathematical extension of the model used t...
