Abstract

This paper introduces a new method for quantifying the morphological evolution of the strain response envelope (SRE). The Fourier series approximation was used to trace the morphological characteristics of SREs. Two SREs computed via numerical simulations using the Modified Cam Clay (MCC) model and three SREs obtained from stress-probing experiments on Chicago clay were used to validate the proposed method of Fourier series approximation. The results show that using a harmonic number of 1 or 2, the target shape of the SRE can be approximated within a 10% error.
