Coarse-grained soils are typical engineering materials commonly used in many civil engineering applications such as structural fills, subgrade and drainage fills for dam, railway and bridge. Various researches have been performed with related to constitutive laws for numerical analysis of such structures. This paper presents a parametric study for a constitutive model for coarse grained materials. The model is a kind of the bounding surface models based on critical state theory. A distinct feature of the model is to capture the response of coarse-grained materials with different void ratios and confining pressures using a single set of model parameters. The model behavior is defined with a set of elastic parameters, critical state parameters, and model-specific parameters. The parametric study was performed for the model-specific parameters. The result of parametric study shows that the model is capable to capture stress-dilatancy behavior and kinematic-hardening under non-associative plastic flow.

시멘트를 기초로하는 복합재료의 파괴거동은 주균열이 진행하기 이전에 파괴진행영역이라고 하는 미세균열대가 콘크리트 내부에 형성고기 때문에 선형파괴역하게 입각하여 해석하게 되면 실험치와 상당한 차이를 나타낸다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 가상균열모델이나 균열띠 모델, 두 파라메터 파괴모델 등 비선형해석에 따른 여러 파괴역학모델들이 제안되었으나 이들 모델들은 2차원 해석에 근거를 두고 있기 때문에 구조체의 두께 방향으로 동일한 균열이 형성되며, 특히 콘크리트 실험에서 관찰되는 비연속적 균열발생에 대해서 설며이 어려웠다. 이에 본 연구는 콘크리트를하나의 다종복합체로 가정하고 연립변형모드 및 진행파괴모드 방향으로 구성재료를 배열한 상태에서 가상균열 이론에 근거한 비선형해석방법으로 모델링하였다. 진행파괴모드로 구성재료를 배열하면 강성이 높은 구성재료를 통과하여 균열이 진행될 때 균열선단으로부터 분포된 응력이 상층의 허용인장강도를 초과하게 되어 균열이 발생되며 이러한 균열은점진적인 균열진행과는 달리 비연속 동시 발생 균열ㄹ로 나타났다. 본 연구는 진행파괴모드에서의 파괴 해석 방법과연립변형모드에서의 해석 방법을 제시하였으며, 해석결과를 실험결과와 비교함으로써 검증하였다.

A constitutive model based on a combination of a micromechanics-based weakened interface elastic model (Lee and Pyo, 2007) and a crack nucleation model (Karihaloo and Fu, 1989) is proposed to predict the effective elastic behavior of particle-reinforced composites. The model specifically considers imperfect interfaces in particles and microcracks in the matrix. To exercise the proposed constitutive model and to investigate the influence of model parameters on the behavior of the composites, numerical simulations on uniaxial tension tests were conducted. Furthermore, the present prediction is compared with available experimental data in the literature to verify the accuracy of the proposed constitutive model.

The structural stability of fill dam largely depends on the engineering behavior of rock materials used as main zone for dam construction and it is necessary to understand well the stress-strain characteristics of fill materials as well as shear strength property. In addition, the numerical analysis of fill dam requires a thorough study for calibrating material properties and parameters of a coarse-grained soil constitutive model. In this paper, large triaxial test results for Buhang-dam fill materials are analyzed and constitutive model parameters are calibrated based on the test results. It is shown that MD constitutive model is capable to predict the stress-strain behavior of dense and loose coarse-grained soils used for Buhang-dam construction based on the comparison study between the experimental test result and numerical simulation.

본 논문에서는 저온용 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강(ASS)의 온도 및 변형률 속도의 영향을 고려한 통합 구성 방정식 및 손상 모델을 제안하였다. 저온 영역에서, 304L ASS의 온도 및 변형률 속도별 인장 실험을 시행하였다. 그 결과, 변형 유기 마르텐사이트 상변태에 의해 상변태 유기 소성(TRIP)이 저온에서 현저히 나타났으며 온도 및 변형률 속도의 영향이 지대하였다. 실험 결과를 바탕으로 ASS의 저온 거동 및 특성을 규명하여 수치 모델에 반영하였다. 저온에서 일어나는 2차 경화 현상을 표현하기 위해, Bodner/Partom 점소성 구성 방정식을 수정하고 Tomita/Iwamoto 변형 유기 상변태 모델을 구성 방정식에 적용시켰다. 저온 연성 파단 현상을 표현하기 위해, Bodner/Chan 손상모델을 수정하여 접목시켰다. 제안된 모델을 유한요소 프로그램에 탑재시키고, 온도 및 변형률 속도 의존 재료 정수를 결정하였다. 저온 영역에서, 온도 및 변형률 속도별 재료 거동을 시뮬레이션하고 이를 실험 결과와 비교 및 검증하였다.

A bond-based peridynamic model has been reported dynamic fracture characteristic of brittle materials through a simple constitutive model. In the model, each bond is assumed to be a simple spring operating independently. As a result, this simple bond interaction modeling restricts the material behavior having a fixed Poisson's ratio of 1/4 and not being capable of expressing shear deformation. We consider a state-based peridynamics as a generalized peridynamic model. Constitutive models in the state-based peridynamics are corresponding to those in continuum theory. In state-based peridynamics, thus, the response of a material particle depends collectively on deformation of all bonds connected to other particles. So, a state-based peridynamic theory can represent the volume and shear changes of the material. In this paper, the perfect plasticity is considered to express plastic deformation of material by the state-based peridynamic constitutive model with perfect plastic flow rule. The elastic-plastic behavior of the material is verified through the stress-strain curves of the flat plate example. Furthermore, we simulate the high-speed impact on 3D granite model with a nonlocal contact modeling. It is observed that the damage patterns obtained by peridynamics are similar to experimental observations.

Numerous pavement response models rely on constitutive relationships to describe the response of granular materials. In this study, a nonlinear elastic constitutive model which is a function of bulk stress and octahedral shear stress is proposed to describe the resilient behavior of thick granular base courses under flexible airfield pavements. Special features of this model are its accuracy to predict the nonlinear resilient behavior, its simplicity to determine the material constants and its ability to model the secondary effect of decreasing the resilient modulus due to shear effects. In laboratory tests, the nonlinear resilient behavior of granular materials is investigated and values of resilient moduli are determined to provide data for verifying the proposed model. It is found that the resilient modulus is much more dependent on the states of stresses in terms of bulk stress and deviator stress than any other factors. Result of comparison shows that predicted values of resilient moduli are in good agreement with the measured values indicating that the proposed model is suitable to describe the nonlinear resilient behavior of the granular material with wide range of stress states which meet in airfield pavements.

본 논문에서는 점탄성 매트릭스와 탄성 강화입자로 구성된 복합재료의 크리프 거동예측을 미세역학 기반의 시뮬레이션을 통하여 수행하였다. 에폭시 고분자로 이루어진 복합재료의 경우 재료 특성상 탄성적 거동뿐 아니라 점성적 거동도 함께 발생하게 된다. 이렇듯 점탄성 거동을 보이는 재료의 경우 탄성만을 고려한 해석방법으로는 한계가 있으며 점성적인 특성 또한 고려되어야 한다. 점탄성 복합재료의 해석을 위해서 손상을 고려한 미세역학 기반의 해석 (Ju and Chen, 1994) 과 Mesquita and Coda (2002)의 근사식을 사용하였다. 이를 통해 구한 재료 물성은 복합재료의 크리프 거동예측을 위한 Kelvin-Voight (KV) 모델과 Standard Linear Solid (SLS) 모델에 적용되었다. 최종적으로 본 연구에서 제안한 손상을 고려한 점탄성 모델의 예측과 시험결과를 비교 수행하여 결과의 타당성을 검증하였다.

In the current study, thermoforming and compression analysis were carried out for the woven composite egg-box panel with the non-orthogonal constitutive material model, which is proposed by Xue et al. The material model is implemented in commercial engineering software, LS-DYNA, with a user subroutine. Directional properties in non-orthogonal coordinates are determinedusing the deformation gradient tensor and the material modulus matrix in local coordinate is updated at eaeh corresponding time step. After the implemented non-orthogonal constitutive model is verified by the bias extension test, the egg-box panel simulations are performed. The egg-box panel simulations are divided into two categories: thermoforming (draping) and crushing. The finite element model for crushing analysiscan be obtained using the displacement result of thermoforming process.

In this study, we devised a parametric analysis workflow for efficiently analyzing the material properties of 3D woven materials. The parametric model uses wire spacing in the woven materials as a design parameter; we generated 2,500 numerical models with various combinations of these design parameters. Using MATLAB and ANSYS software, we obtained various material properties, such as bulk modulus, thermal conductivity, and fluid permeability of the woven materials, through a parametric batch analysis. We then used this large dataset of material properties to perform a regression analysis to validate the relationship between design variables and material properties, as well as the accuracy of numerical analysis. Furthermore, we constructed an artificial neural network capable of predicting the material properties of 3D woven materials on the basis of the obtained material database. The trained network can accurately estimate the material properties of the woven materials with arbitrary design parameters, without the need for numerical analyses.
