Realization of Uniform Deformation under Three-Dimensional Condition Based on Soil-Water Coupled Analysis Considering Inertia Forces

Abstract:

In the paper, based on soil-water coupled finite deformation analysis, theoretical considerations and numerical calculations were carried out under undrained three-dimensional condition in order to reproduce a uniform deformation field. At first, a theoretical consideration was assumed to realize a uniform deformation for a saturated soil, according to which the initial velocity and acceleration in both vertical and circumferential directions should be applied to each node to remove the influence of inertia effect. This first theoretical analysis is useful and can guide the numerical calculation. Next, the paper realized a uniform deformation of a three-dimensional cylinder specimen under undrained boundary conditions using the soil-water coupled analysis in which the SYS Cam-clay model is employed as the constitutive model for soil skeleton. The numerical results show that without the inertia forces there is no localized deformation in the specimen.
