Fundamentals of Plasticity in Geomechanics Dr. Stan Pietruszczak
- Associated flow rule: Plastic potential = yield function. Mathematically elegant but over-predicts dilatancy for soils.
- Non-associated flow rule: Plastic potential ≠ yield function. Essential for realistic modeling of frictional materials like sand and concrete.
9. Example: Cam-Clay Model
The original Cam-Clay (Roscoe & Burland, 1968) yield surface:
[
f = q + M p' \ln\left( \fracp'p'_0 \right) = 0
]
where ( p'_0 ) = pre-consolidation pressure (hardening variable). fundamentals of plasticity in geomechanics pdf
Isotropic Hardening: The yield surface expands uniformly, representing an increase in strength. Fundamentals of Plasticity in Geomechanics Dr
Volumetric strain ( \varepsilon_v ) and shear strain ( \varepsilon_s ) are conjugate. Associated flow rule: Plastic potential = yield function
4. Stress and Strain Concepts for Geomaterials
We use effective stress ( \sigma' = \sigma - u ) (Terzaghi’s principle).
Invariants for isotropic hardening models:
- Textbook-style fundamentals (search for book titles and publisher pages).
- Lecture notes/concise summaries (search professor course pages).
- Research-focused/theoretical treatments (search journal articles on plasticity models in geomechanics).
- Worked examples and problems (graduate course problem sets or labs).
