Strain Localization of Sand Based on a State-Dependent Critical State Model

Abstract:

A state-dependent critical state model is employed to analyze strain localization of sand in this paper. The sand model is developed based on the concept of the state-dependent critical state for sands, and an analysis of strain localization is performed on the drained plane strain tests of Hostun sand. The results show that the state-dependent critical state model is capable of simulating the effect of initial state on strain localization compatibly.
