一类新型的散粒型土体本构理论

详细地介绍了国际上近30才发展起来的具有独特建模思想的一类新型的散粒型土体本构建模理论--亚塑性本构理论。将该理论与经典的弹塑性理论进行比较后发现,亚塑性理论的本构表达式自动隐含了弹塑性理论中相对应的一些基本概念和假定,无需额外引入,因此增加了模型的客观性。以Gudehus-Bauer亚塑性模型为例,分析了模型在临界状态时的本构特征。此外,通过三轴试验和循环剪切试验的亚塑性数值模拟表明,亚塑性本构模型能很好地反映无黏性散粒型土体的非弹性、非线性及剪胀（剪缩）性等主要应力-应变特性。     

考虑颗粒破碎对特征孔隙比影响的堆石体亚塑性本构模型

颗粒破碎是影响堆石体强度和变形特性的主要问题之一。相比于砂土,堆石料在较低的应力水平下就会发生严重的颗粒破碎,因此,在进行堆石体力学特性及本构模型研究时必须考虑颗粒破碎的影响。同时,堆石体在受力过程中孔隙比是变化的,而传统本构模型不能使用一组参数模拟不同孔隙比的同种材料。因此,以能够考虑应力水平和土体孔隙比影响的Gudehus-Bauer亚塑性本构模型为基础,考虑堆石体有别于砂土的孔隙比变化特征,提出了考虑堆石破碎的亚塑性本构模型。亚塑性理论是目前可最大限度地减少人为假定的一种本构理论,颗粒材料在不同特征应力路径下,破碎造成的过度变形量不同;但相同应力水平、不同特征应力路径下孔隙比已不满足Gudehus-Bauer亚塑性本构模型中提出的等比例变化规律。据此,结合考虑颗粒破碎的临界状态理论和堆石体常规三轴试验和循环加载试验结果,提出了考虑颗粒破碎堆石体特征孔隙比的表达式,并将其引入到Gudehus-Bauer亚塑性本构模型中,建立了考虑颗粒破碎的堆石体亚塑性本构模型,提出了模型参数的确定方法。与堆石体试验结果对比表明,该本构模型可以较好地模拟其力学与变形特性。

Gudehus-Bauer亚塑性本构模型研究

无黏性土的应力-应变关系可以用Gudehus-Bauer亚塑性本构模型来模拟,该模型强调应力增量的大小和方向不仅与当前应力状态有关,而且还取决于当前应变增量的大小和方向。为分析其与传统弹塑性理论的不同之处,对Gudehus-Bauer理论的线性项和非线性项进行了研究,并对不同初始孔隙比下Gudehus-Bauer亚塑性模型的应力-应变关系进行了探讨。结果表明Gudehus-Bauer亚塑性模型不用把应变分为弹性和塑性部分就能考虑不可逆变形,并能体现密砂的剪胀特性和应变软化特性以及松砂的剪缩特性和应变硬化特性。     

堆石料Gudehus-Bauer亚塑性本构模型改进及参数确定方法

基于细观变形理论的盐岩塑性本构模型研究

唯象学本构模型不能很好解决诸如夹杂含量、温度、应变速率等对盐岩力学性质的影响,更难以解释盐岩变形机制。盐岩为石岩晶体组成,其变形机制主要由多晶结构所控制,故基于固体位错理论研究方法建立的盐岩塑性本构模型更能反映盐岩的变形机制。研究表明,盐岩的塑性-蠕变交互作用机制是（亚）晶粒内部位错的滑移与（亚）晶界及其干涉面内位错的攀移运动之间的耦合。基于此,可确定亚晶（或晶粒）平均尺寸与流动应力之间的关系、（亚）晶内的位错平均密度;建立微观参量（位错、亚晶直径、亚晶界宽度等）演化模式;根据Orowan定律建立盐岩微观-宏观变形联系,从而导出盐岩塑性本构方程。导出的本构方程体现了盐岩塑性-蠕变变形的物理机制,相对于传统的塑性本构方程具有更好的物理意义。     

土体非线弹性-塑性本构模型

把本质上属于亚弹性本构模型,在岩土工程界广为应用的Duncan-Chang模型与服从Drucker-PragerMohr-Column屈服准则的弹塑性本构模型相结合,推出了非线弹性-塑性的组合本构模型,以克服经典的弹塑性模型不能考虑岩土材料在塑性屈服前的非线性行为以及一般的Duncan-Chang模型不适用于应力水平接近于屈服或破坏状态等缺点。所建议的本构模型简单实用,能较好地综合利用工程地质勘察资料和常规的土工试验数据。针对实际边坡具体地层条件的分析表明,该模型及其非线性析算法的正确性和可行性,而且在岩土工程方面具有广泛的实际应用价值。

基于广义位势理论的接触面本构模型一般表述

基于广义位势理论建立的岩土体材料本构模型以及岩土体材料与结构接触面本构模型原理相通,只是前者是在三轴剪切试验条件下的三维应力空间建模,后者是在单剪试验条件下的二维应力空间建模。单剪试验条件下土与结构的接触面问题可以看作是法向与切向应力空间上的二维问题,其试验结果可以表达成由应力、应变组成的二维矢量。结合接触面力学特性,确定应力空间中的势函数以及塑性状态方程,可以推导出双重势面接触面弹塑性本构方程的一般表达式。进一步取两个势函数分别为法向应力和切向应力,建立简化双重势面接触面弹塑性模型的本构方程,该方程可直接应用于有限元等数值分析。结合试验实例对建模方法的合理性进行验证,模型拟合效果良好。研究结果表明,基于广义塑性位势理论建立接触面本构模型无需推求塑性势函数和屈服函数,可以直接得到弹塑性刚度矩阵,且建模方便。

Hypoplastic model for sands with loading surface

Although the hypoplastic models for sands have exhibited good predictive capability in monotonic loading, they are not able to reproduce memory effects and predict excessive plastic accumulation under cyclic loading. To overcome these issues, a loading surface has been incorporated into a hypoplastic model. This surface is capped and has two hardening variables. Notions from the bounding surface plasticity were borrowed in order to formulate the hardening functions. With this novel model, some salient features can be described: the model can account for the accumulation of plastic deformation, a memory effect is provided by the new surface, and stress-induced anisotropy effects observed in sands are successfully simulated. A short calibration guide of the parameters is given, and some simulations for Hostun RF loose sand and Toyoura sand are presented.     

A thermo‐mechanical model for variably saturated soils based on hypoplasticity

The paper presents a mechanical model for non‐isothermal behaviour of unsaturated soils. The model is based on an incrementally non‐linear hypoplastic model for saturated clays and can therefore tackle the non‐linear behaviour of overconsolidated soils. A hypoplastic model for non‐isothermal behaviour of saturated soils was developed and combined with the existing hypoplastic model for unsaturated soils based on the effective stress principle. Features of the soil behaviour that are included into the model, and those that are not, are clearly distinguished. The number of model parameters is kept to a minimum, and they all have a clear physical interpretation, to facilitate the model usefulness for practical applications. The step‐by‐step procedure used for the parameter calibration is described. The model is finally evaluated using a comprehensive set of experimental data for the thermo‐mechanical behaviour of an unsaturated compacted silt. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A simple hypoplastic constitutive model for sand

The paper presents a hypoplastic constitutive model for the three-dimensional non-linear stress–strain and dilatant volume change behaviour of sand. The model is developed without recourse to the concept in elastoplasticity theory such as yield surface, plastic potential and decomposition into elastic and plastic parts. Benefited from the non-linear tensorial functions available from the representation theorem the model possesses simple mathematical formulation and contains only four material parameters, which can be easily identified with triaxial compression tests. Comparison of the predictions with the experimental results shows that the model is capable of capturing the salient behaviour of sand under monotonic loading and is applicable to both drained and undrained conditions.     

A hypoplastic model for granular soils incorporating anisotropic critical state theory

It is well known that soil is inherently anisotropic and its mechanical behavior is significantly influenced by its fabric anisotropy. Hypoplasticity is increasingly being accepted in the constitutive modeling for soils, in which many salient features, such as nonlinear stress-strain relations, dilatancy, and critical state failure, can be described by a single tensorial equation. However, within the framework of hypoplasticity, modeling fabric anisotropy remains challenging, as the fabric and its evolution are often vaguely assumed without a sound basis. This paper presents a hypoplastic constitutive model for granular soils based on the newly developed anisotropic critical state theory, in which the conditions of fabric anisotropy are concurrently satisfied along with the traditional conditions at the critical state. A deviatoric fabric tensor is introduced into the Gudehus-Bauer hypoplastic model, and a scalar-valued anisotropic state variable signifying the interplay between the fabric and the stress state is used to characterize its impact on the dilatancy and strength of the soils. In addition, fabric evolution during shearing can explicitly be addressed. Modifications have also been undertaken to improve the performance of the undrained response of the model. The anisotropic hypoplastic model can simulate experimental tests for sand under various combinations of principle stress direction, intermediate principal stress (or mode of shearing), soil densities, and confining pressures, and the associated drastic effect of different principal stress orientations in reference to the material axes of anisotropy can be well captured.     

A 1D Hypoplastic constitutive model for expansive soils

This paper presents a simple hypoplastic constitutive model that describes the essential features of the material behaviour of partially saturated clayey soils observed in oedometric compression tests. The model is formulated in terms of net stress and degree of saturation. The total strain rate is decomposed into a portion related to the changes in saturation and a portion for the evolution of net stress. However, no distinction is made between plastic and elastic strains. With this strain rate decomposition, the maximum swelling strain/stress are obtained by simulating wetting processes under constant stress/strain conditions. In addition to the void ratio, the model includes two scalar variables to track the loading history (preloading). The calibration of the model constants using common laboratory tests is discussed. Confined and unconfined swelling tests under oedometric conditions with subsequent loading and unloading phases carried out on three different materials were satisfactorily simulated by the model. Its promising results call for an extension to a 3D formulation.

     

Improvement of a hypoplastic model to predict clay behaviour under undrained conditions

A shortcoming of the hypoplastic model for clays proposed by the first author is an incorrect prediction of the initial portion of the undrained stress path, particularly for tests on normally consolidated soils at isotropic stress states. A conceptually simple modification of this model, which overcomes this drawback, is proposed in the contribution. The modified model is applicable to both normally consolidated and overconsolidated soils and predicts the same swept-out-memory states (i.e., normal compression lines) as the original model. At anisotropic stress states and at higher overconsolidation ratios the modified model yields predictions similar to the original model.     

ISA model: A constitutive model for soils with yield surface in the intergranular strain space

In this article, a new constitutive model for soils is proposed. It is formulated by means of plasticity, but in contrast to the precedent works, it presents a yield function describing a surface within the intergranular strain space. This latter is a state variable providing information of the recent strain history. An expression for the plastic strain rate has been proposed to guarantee the stress rate continuity. Under the application of medium or large strain amplitudes, the constitutive equation becomes independent of the intergranular strain and delivers a mathematical structure similar to some Karlsruhe hypoplastic models. Some simulations of monotonic and cyclic triaxial test are provided to evaluate and analyze the model performance. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
