Size Effect on the Deformation Characteristic and Shear Band of Granular Material Based on Hypoplastity

Abstract:

The deformation characteristic of granular material is important. It is important factor to analysis the bearing capacity and the thickness of granular material footings. There are many factors influence the deformation of granular material, such as material characteristic, content of water, degree of compaction, test method, etc. For analyzing size effect on the deformation characteristic of granular material, hypoplastic constitutive model considering void ratio is introduced. The influence of an initial void ratio, pressure and a mean grain diameter on the deformation is investigated by polar quantities: rotations, curvatures, couple stresses and a characteristic length. Thus, the influence of density and pressure on the initiation of shear bands can be investigated with a single set of constitutive constants.
