The Modified Cam-Clay Model and the Constitutive Relation Principle of Thermodynamics with Internal Variables

Article Preview

Abstract:

According the theory of thermodynamics with internal variables, the relation between yield function and dissipation function and the condition of associated flow rule in stress space are presented; the elastoplastic matrix of the incremental form of the material constitutive equation is given out, this matrix is determined by the free energy function and the yield function. The Gibbs free energy function of solid phase of saturated soils subjected triaxial compression stress state is presented, and using the constitutive theory of thermodynamics with internal variables, yield function and stress-strain relation of the modified Cam-Clay model is obtained by the free energy function and the dissipation function. These results prove the correctness and feasibility for this constitutive theory to construct elastoplastic constitutive relation of saturated soils.
