In this paper, a comparative study of the effects of soil modelling on the interaction between tunnelling in soft soil and adjacent piled structure is presented. Several three-dimensional finite element analyses are performed to study the deformation of pile caps and piles as well as tunnel internal forces during the construction of an underground tunnel. The soil is modelled by two material models: the simple, yet approximate Mohr Coulomb (MC) yield criterion; and the complex, but reasonable hardening soil (HS) model with hyperbolic relation between stress and strain. For the former model, two different values of the soil stiffness modulus ($E_{50}$ or $E_{ur}$) as well as two profiles of stiffness variation with depth (constant and linearly increasing) were used in attempts to improve its prediction. As these four attempts did not succeed, a hybrid representation in which the hardening soil is used for soil located at the highly-strained zones while the Mohr Coulomb model is utilized elsewhere was investigated. This hybrid representation, which is a compromise between rigorous and simple solutions yielded results that compare well with those of the hardening soil model. The compared results include pile cap movements, pile deformation, and tunnel internal forces. Problem symmetry is utilized and, therefore, one symmetric half of the soil medium, the tunnel boring machine, the face pressure, the final tunnel lining, the pile caps, and the piles are modelled in several construction phases.

The ratcheting characteristics of cylindrical shell under cyclic axial loading are investigated. The specimens are subjected to stress-controlled cycling with non-zero mean stress, which causes the accumulation of plastic strain or ratcheting behavior in continuous cycles. Also, cylindrical shell shows softening behavior under symmetric axial strain-controlled loading and due to the localized buckling, which occurs in the compressive stress-strain curve of the shell; it has more residual plastic strain in comparison to the tensile stress-strain hysteresis curve. The numerical analysis was carried out by ABAQUS software using hardening models. The nonlinear isotropic/kinematic hardening model accurately simulates the ratcheting behavior of shell. Although hardening models are incapable of simulating the softening behavior of the shell, this model analyzes the softening behavior well. Moreover, the model calculates the residual plastic strain close to the experimental data. Experimental tests were performed using an INSTRON 8802 servo-hydraulic machine. Simulations show good agreement between numerical and experimental results. The results reveal that the rate of plastic strain accumulation increases for the first few cycles and then reduces in the subsequent cycles. This reduction is more rapid for numerical results in comparison to experiments.

본 연구에서는 응력이력 의존적 소성포텐셜을 도입한 단일 경화 모델의 검증을 정규압밀, 약간 과압밀, 심한 과압밀 점토시료에 대하여 수행하였다. 단일 경화 모델은 한계상태 토질역학을 기본으로 비교적 적은 매개변수를 채택하여 최근에 개발된 탄소성 모델이다. 삼축압축시험이 정밀하게 수행되었으며 시험결과는 모델의 예측결과와 전반적으로 잘 부합하였다. 시험결과와의 차이는 단일 경화 모델이 주로 주응력 회전을 강조하기 때문이다. 그러나 소성일 H 및 주응력 회전각 변수를 통하여 지반재료에서 응력이력을 효과적으로 소성일에 반영할 수 있다는 사실이 검증되었다.

For the proper analysis of soil excavation problems through FEM, a constitutive model should be able to simulate the real soil behavior, especially around the excavated section. In this study, the nenlinear finite element analysis is performed using an anisotropic hardening constitutive model based on 'generalized isotropic hardening' rule. Furthermore, in order that the implementation of this constitutive model is performed consistently with the iterative algorithm for the numerical analysis, stresses are implicitly intergrated by the closest point projection algorithm, and a consistent tangent modulus is evaluated. An excavation example including various loading esquences is analyzed, and the results are compared with the Cam-clay model.

An independent kinematic hardening material model in which the reverse yielding point is defined by the Bauschinger effect factor (BEF) , has been defined for stainless steel SUS 304. The material model and the BEF are obtained experimentally and represented mathematically as continuous functions of effective plastic strain. The material model has been incorporated in a non-linear stress analysis for the prediction of reverse yielding in thick-walled cylinders during the autofrettage process of these vessels. Residual stress distributions of the independent kinematic hardening material model at the onset of reverse yielding are compared with residual stresses of an isotropic hardening model showing the significant effect of the BEF on reverse yielding predictions. Critical pressures of direct and reverse yielding are obtained for the most commonly used cylinders and a range of permissible internal pressures for an efficient autofrettaged process is recommended.

Laboratory investigation reveals that rockfills exhibit significant stress-path-dependent behavior during shearing, therefore realistic prediction of deformation of rockfill structures requires suitable constitutive models to properly reproduce such behavior. This paper evaluates the capability of a strain hardening model proposed by the authors, by comparing simulation results with large-scale triaxial stress-path test results. Despite of its simplicity, the model can simulate essential aspects of the shear behavior of rockfills, including the non-linear stress-strain relationship, the stress-dependence of the stiffness, the non-linear strength behavior, and the shearing contraction and dilatancy. More importantly, the model is shown to predict the markedly different stress-strain and volumetric behavior along various loading paths with fair accuracy. All parameters required for the model can be derived entirely from the results of conventional large triaxial tests with constant confining pressures.

This paper develops a relatively comprehensive and sophisticated constitutive model of concrete for finite element analysis of concrete structures. The present model accounts for the hydrostatic pressure sensitivity and Lode angle dependence behavior of concrete, not only in its strength criterion, but also in its hardening characteristics. The implementation is carried out through incorporating the developed concrete model in User Subroutine Material(UMAT) of the general-purpose FE program ABAQUS(v.5.8). It is found that the model can sufficiently predict the hardening as well as the softening behaviour of concrete under high confining pressure.

본 연구에서는 동반논문(오세붕 & 이승래, 1996)에서 정식화한 비등방경화 구성모델에 대한 내재적인 응력적분 알고리즘의 정확성과 효율성을 검증하였다. 비배수 삼축압축시험경로에 대한 오차평가를 통하여 정확도해석을 수행하였고 수치적인 굴착해석예제를 수행함으로써 정확도 및 수렴도를 분석하였다. 그 결과 제안된 알고리즘이 비등방경화 구성관계에 대하여 음력을 정화하게 적분하고 Newton 법을 이용한 비선형 해석시에 점근적인 2차 수렴도를 확보함을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 이러한 검증을 토대로 지반의 초기조건 및 시공단계를 고려한 유한요소법을 이용하여 실제 굴착문제를 해석하였다. 비등방경화 구성관계를 이용함으로써, 추정된 벽체의 변위는 Cainflay모델에 비하여 실제와 더 유사한 해석결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

세주응력을 서로 독립적으로 조절할 수 있는 입방체형삼축시험기를 이용하여 모래시료에 대한 일련의 배수삼축시험이 실시되었다. 그리고 Lade에 의해 제안된 등방단일경화구성모델을 사용하여 입방체형삼축시험시와 동일한 응력경로에 대한 응력-변형률 거동을 해석하였다. 등방단일경화구성모델에 의한 거동 예측치는 초기재하단계(primary loading)시 입방체형삼축시험결과와 좋은 일치를 보이고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 반복재하단계(unloading과 reloading)의 경우 거동예측치는 시험결과와 많은 차이를 보이고 있다. 이것은 등방단일경화구성모델의 소성일경화계수가 시험결과의 경화부분을 근거로 하여 결정되었기 때문에 연화부분에서 많은 오차가 있는 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, local ratcheting behavior of 1045 steel plates with circular cutout was investigated. Experimental tests were carried out by a Zwick/Roell HB 100 servo hydraulic machine. In order to measure the local strain at notch root, a data acquisition system with strain gauge was used. Various notch diameters and distances of strain gauges mounted from the notch root were found influential in the magnitude of local ratcheting strain. It was found that the local maximum principal stress plays a crucial role in increasing the local plastic deformation. Numerical simulation was done by ABAQUS software using nonlinear isotropic/kinematic hardening model. Material parameters of hardening model were attained from several stabilized cycles of flat specimens subjected to symmetric strain cycles. The nonlinear kinematic hardening model along with the Neuber's rule was employed to assess local ratcheting at the notch root of steel plates. The results of the numerical simulations agreed closely with those measured values in this study. Both ratcheting progress and mean stress relaxation occurred simultaneously at the notch root.
