热−水−力耦合条件下黏土岩蠕变特性研究

黏土岩作为放射性核废料处置的备选介质,长期处于热-水-力耦合的复杂条件下。为研究围岩的长期稳定性,开展了一系列不同围压和偏应力下的黏土岩加温-降温排水蠕变试验。得出以下结论：温度的升高会提升黏土岩的蠕变速率,延长衰减蠕变阶段的时间,但是降温过程中试样主要以冷缩变形为主,并未见明显的蠕变变形;围压的降低以及偏应力的增加会提高黏土岩的蠕变速率,并且这种影响会随温度的升高明显加剧。基于试验结果,在Perzyna过应力理论的基础上引入蠕变硬化、蠕变损伤以及热损伤,建立了黏土岩热-水-力耦合蠕变模型。通过ABAQUS软件及其子程序对该模型进行数值实现,模拟结果与试验结果的对比初步表明该模型可以很好地描述热-水-力耦合条件下黏土岩的蠕变特性。     

Experimental and theoretical investigation of the high‐pressure behavior of concrete

The results of an experimental study aimed at characterizing the behavior of concrete for high confining pressures (up to 500 MPa) are reported. The main characteristics of the response under deviatoric conditions are quasi‐linearity in the elastic regime, stress‐path dependency, and gradual change from compressibility to dilatancy under increasing deviatoric stress. By performing the cyclic triaxial compression tests with several load–creep–unload and reload cycles, the time influence on the overall behavior was detected. Further, whether the main features of the observed behavior can be described within the framework of elastic/viscoplasticity theory was investigated. For this purpose, Cristescu's (Rock Rheology. Kluwer Academic Publishers: The Netherlands, 1989) approach was used. It was shown that the proposed elastic/viscoplastic model captures the main features of concrete behavior at high pressures.

Effects of transport of pore water and material heterogeneity on strain localization of fluid‐saturated gradient‐dependent viscoplastic geomaterial

The purpose of the present paper is to clarify the effects of permeability and initial heterogeneity on the strain localization of fluid‐saturated cohesive soil modelled by a strain gradient‐dependent poro‐viscoplastic constitutive model. The effects of permeability and gradient parameters on the growth rate of the fluctuation were obtained by a linear instability analysis. Deformation behaviour of clay specimens modelled as a viscoplastic model with a second order strain gradient during shear was numerically analysed by a soil–water coupled FEM under both globally undrained and partially drained conditions. It was found that the deformation pattern and the stress–strain curve greatly depend on the permeability, the drainage conditions and the initial non‐homogeneous properties.

A cyclic elastoplastic-viscoplastic constitutive model for soils

An elastoplastic-viscoplastic constitutive model for soils is presented in this study, based on an original approach concerning viscous modelling. In this approach, the viscous behaviour is defined by internal viscous variables and a viscous yield surface. The model has been developed from a basic elastoplastic model (CJS model) by considering an additional viscous mechanism. The evolution of the viscous yield surface is governed by a particular hardening called ‘viscous hardening’. This model is able to explain the time-dependent behaviour of soils such as creep (primary, secondary and un-drained creep rupture), stress relaxation and strain rate effects in static and cyclic loadings. The existing problems in the classical elasto-viscoplastic models related to the plasticity failure, the rapid loading and the cyclic loading are solved in the proposed model. The physical meanings and the identification strategy of model parameters are clearly given. The validation on certain triaxial test results and the simulation of cyclic triaxial test indicate the capacity of this model in prediction of time-dependent behaviour of clayey soils.

Error-controlled implicit time integration of elasto-visco-plastic constitutive models for rock salt

The mechanical behavior of rock salt is rate-dependent at different time scales. Using caverns in rock salt formations for renewable energy storage implies that the underground structures are subjected to both short-term and long-term loads, increasing robustness and flexibility requirements for numerical simulators used to assess the safety of such structures. So far, explicit time integration with model-specific heuristics for time-step size determination dominate in application studies. In this paper, the suitability of error-controlled adaptive time-integration schemes of the diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta type is investigated in comparison with the Backward Euler and Crank-Nicolson schemes when applied to the integration of typical elasto-visco-plastic constitutive models of rock salt. The comparison is made both for monotonic and for cyclic loads as well as taking account of thermo-mechanical coupling. Analyses of the time-integration errors and the time step-size evolution show the suitability of the integration scheme for these material models. The automatic adjustment of the time-step size was found to be robust across all material models and boundary conditions as well as for non-isothermal situations for a single algorithmic parameter set.     

Continuum large cracking in a rate‐dependent plastic–damage model for cyclic‐loaded concrete structures

Formulation and algorithmic treatment of a rate‐dependent plastic–damage model modified to capture large tensile cracking in cyclic‐loaded concrete structures are presented in detail for a three‐dimensional implementation. The plastic–damage model proposed by Lee and Fenves in 1998 was founded based on isotropic damaged elasticity in combination with isotropic multi‐hardening plasticity to simulate cracking and crushing of concrete under cyclic or dynamic loadings. In order that the model can capture large crack opening displacements, which are inevitable in plain concrete structures, the excessive increase in plastic strain causing unrealistic results in cyclic behaviors is prevented when the tensile plastic–damage variable controlling the evolution of tensile damage is larger than a critical value. In such a condition, the crack opening/closing mechanism becomes similar to discrete cracking. The consistent tangent operator required to accelerate convergence rate is also formulated for the large cracking state including viscoplasticity. The validation and performance of the modified algorithm implemented in a special finite element program is exemplified through several single‐element tests as well as three structural applications. The last example examines the model in the seismic fracture analysis of Koyna dam as a benchmark problem and the resulting crack profile is compared with the available experiment. The numerical experimentations well demonstrate that the developed model whose modification is necessary to properly simulate the cyclic behavior of plain concrete subjected to large tensile strains is robust and reasonably accurate.

A unified approach to the implicit integration of standard,non‐standard and viscous plasticity models

It is shown how modern concepts to integrate the elasto‐plastic rate equations of standard plasticity via an implicit algorithm can be generalized to plasticity without an explicitly defined yield surface and to overstress‐type models of viscoplasticity, where the stress point can be located outside the loading surface. For completeness, a tangent operator is derived that is consistent with the update algorithm. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Thermodynamic‐based model for coupling temperature‐dependent viscoelastic,viscoplastic, and viscodamage constitutive behavior of asphalt mixtures

Based on the continuum damage mechanics, a general and comprehensive thermodynamic‐based framework for coupling the temperature‐dependent viscoelastic, viscoplastic, and viscodamage behaviors of bituminous materials is presented. This general framework derives systematically Schapery‐type nonlinear viscoelasticity, Perzyna‐type viscoplasticity, and a viscodamage model analogous to the Perzyna‐type viscoplasticity. The resulting constitutive equations are implemented in the well‐known finite element code Abaqus via the user material subroutine UMAT. A systematic procedure for identifying the model parameters is discussed. Finally, the model is validated by comparing the model predictions with a comprehensive set of experimental data on hot mix asphalt that include creep‐recovery, creep, uniaxial constant strain rate, and repeated creep‐recovery tests in both tension and compression over a range of temperatures, stress levels, and strain rates. Comparisons between model predictions and experimental measurements show that the presented constitutive model is capable of predicting the nonlinear behavior of asphaltic mixes under different loading conditions.
