Abstract
AbstractInnovative initial elastic strain energy–based coupled elastoplastic hybrid isotropic damage and healing models for partially saturated soils have been developed and implemented for numerical simulation of two-dimensional earth-pushing processes. A class of elastoplastic constitutive damage-healing models, based on a continuum thermodynamic framework, is proposed within an initial elastic strain energy–based formulation. In particular, the change of effective stress caused by matric suction in the formulation is considered, and the governing incremental damage and healing evolutions are coupled and characterized through the effective stress concept in conjunction with the hypothesis of strain equivalence. Further, plastic flow is introduced by means of an additive split of the stress tensor. In this innovative formulation, two characteristic energy norms of the tensile and compressive strain tensors, respectively, are introduced for the corresponding damage and healing mechanisms. By incorporating...
