A granular material is considered as an assembly of particles. The stress-strain relationship for an assembly can be determined by integrating the behavior at all interparticle contacts and by using a static hypothesis, which relates the average stress of the granular assembly to a mean field of particle contact forces. As for the nonsaturated state, capillary forces at grain contacts are added to the contact forces created by an external load. These are then calculated as a function of the degree of saturation, depending on the grain size distribution and on the void ratio of the granular assembly. Hypothesizing a Hertz-Mindlin law for the grain contacts leads to an elastic nonlinear behavior of the particulate material. The prediction of the stress-strain model is compared to experimental results obtained from several different granular materials in dry, partially saturated and fully saturated states. The numerical predictions demonstrate that the model is capable of taking into account the influence of key parameters, such as degree of saturation, void ratio, and mean stress.

Elastoplastic model for clay with microstructural consideration / C. S. Chang in Journal of engineering mechanics, Vol. 135 N° 9 (Septembre 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of engineering mechanics > Vol. 135 N° 9 (Septembre 2009) . - pp. 917-931 Titre : Elastoplastic model for clay with microstructural consideration Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : C. S. Chang, Auteur ; Hicher,P.-Y., Auteur ; Yin, Z. Y., Auteur Article en page(s) : pp. 917-931 Note générale : Mécanique appliquée Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Clays  Microstructures  Stress  strain  relations  Anisotropy  Elastoplasticity. Résumé : Clay material can be considered as a collection of clusters, which interact with each other mainly through mechanical forces. From this point of view, clay is modeled by analogy to granular material in this paper. An elastoplastic stress-strain relationship for clay is derived by using the granular mechanics approach developed in previous studies for sand. However, unlike sand, clay deformation is generated not only by the mobilizing but also by compressing clusters. Thus, in addition to the Mohr-Coulomb's plastic shear sliding and a dilatancy type flow rule, a plastic normal deformation has been modeled for two clusters in compression. The overall stress-strain relationship can then be obtained from the mobilization and compressing of clusters through a static hypothesis of the macro-micro relations. The predictions are compared with the experimental results for clay under both drained and undrained triaxial loading conditions. Three different types of clay, including remolded and natural clay, have been selected to evaluate the model's performance. The comparisons verify that this model is capable of accurately reproducing the overall behavior of clay, which accounts for the influence of key parameters such as void ratio and mean stress. A section of this paper is devoted to show the model's capability of considering the influence of inherent anisotropy on the stress-strain response under undrained triaxial loading conditions.
