A Discrete Element Method–Based Energetic Approach to Model Two‐Dimensional Fatigue Crack Propagation

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 1420-1436, 10 April 2025.
ABSTRACT In this work, a fatigue crack propagation model is proposed using the two‐dimensional discrete element method (DEM). The challenge lies in describing the small progressive fatigue crack growth within a single cycle, which is typically much smaller than the size of the smallest particles, making it difficult to continuously capture the loss of ...

3D nonlinear coupled modelling of geomaterials using the unconventional Subloading Surface approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The purpose of the work presented in this thesis is aimed to investigate the nonlinear behaviour of porous media, in detail soils, by means of an unconventional plasticity model named subloading surface.

Accurate prediction of spring-back phenomenon by subloading surface mode [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The subloading surface model possesses the distinguished capability to describe the plastic strain rate for the rate of stress inside the yield surface accurately and the stresscontrolling function to pull-back the stress to the yield surface even when ...

Unified Description of Elastoplastic Deformation of Solids : from Subloading Surface Concept to Tangential Plasticity [PDF]

open access: yes
The subloading surface model is based on the natural postulate that the plastic strain rate develops as the stress approaches the yield surface. Then, it is capable of describing rigorously the rate-independent/dependent elastoplastic deformation in ...

Revisiting strain localization analysis for elastoplastic constitutive models in geomechanics

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 125, Issue 24, 30 December 2024.
Abstract The localization of deformations plays a crucial role in the failure of granular materials. Concerning classical continuum constitutive models, the localization of deformations is considered to be connected to the loss of ellipticity of the governing rate equilibrium equations, and entails mesh sensitivity in finite element simulations.

Numerical Analysis of Footing Settlement Problem by Subloading Surface Model

open access: yesSoils and Foundations, 2009
This article addresses the numerical analysis of the load-settlement relation of footing on a soil ground by the finite difference method incorporating the subloading surface model. The subloading surface model is the elastoplastic constitutive model describing most pertinently the plastic strain rate due to the rate of stress inside the yield surface ...

Elastoplastic analysis of mises metal by return-mapping algorithm for extended subloading surface model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The extended subloading surface model is capable of representing not only monotonic but also cyclic loading behaviors accurately. The various return-mapping methods have been adopted to for the elastoplastic deformation analysis in FEM incorporating the ...

Constitutive Modelling of the Cyclic Response of Unsaturated Soils: A Discussion of the State‐of‐Art

open access: yesShock and Vibration, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Site response analysis (SRA) is an important aspect of seismic design that considers the impact of local site conditions on the ground response during earthquakes and plays a key role in the design of structures that interact or are made with soil. Although previous studies have demonstrated that factors such as the degree of saturation influence the ...

Fully undrained cyclic loading simulation on unsaturated soils using an elastoplastic model for unsaturated soils

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2016
Several researchers have reported that Bishop’s mean effective stress decreases in unsaturated soils under fully undrained cyclic loading conditions, and unsaturated soils are finally liquefied in a similar manner as saturated soils.
