Remarks on Constitutive Modeling of Granular Materials
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Governing Equations
3. A Few Fundamental Concepts
“An assembly of discrete solid components dispersed in a fluid such that the constituents are substantially in contact with near neighbors. This definition excludes suspensions, fluidized beds, and materials embedded in a solid mixture.”
3.1. Dilatancy
“At one time the sand will be so firm and hard that you may walk with high heels without leaving a footprint; while at others, although the sand is not dry, one sinks in so as to make walking painful. Had you noticed, you would have found that the sand is firm as the tide falls and becomes soft again after it has been left dry for some hours. The tide leaves the sand, though apparently dry on the surface, with all its interstices perfectly full of water which is kept up to the surface of the sand by capillary attraction; at the same time the water is percolating through the sand from the sands above where the capillary action is not sufficient to hold the water. When the foot falls on this water-saturated sand, it tends to change its shape, but it cannot do this without enlarging the interstices—without drawing in more water. This is a work of time, so that the foot is gone again before the sand has yielded.”
“Taking a small indiarubber bottle with a glass neck full of shot and water, so that the water stands well into the neck. If instead of shot the bag were full of water or had anything of the nature of a sponge in it, when the bag was squeezed, the water would be forced up the neck. With the shot the opposite result is obtained; as I squeeze the bag, the water decidedly shrinks in the neck… When we squeeze a sponge between two planes, water is squeezed out; when we squeeze sand, shot, or granular material, water is drawn in.”
“During the shearing test on dense sand, the shearing stress reaches a peak value and if the deformation continued, the shearing stress drops to a smaller value, at which value it remains constant for all further deformations. During the drop in shearing stress, the sand continues to expand, finally reaching a critical value at which continuous deformation is possible at constant sharing stress.
When a loose sample of sand is subjected to shearing test under constant normal pressure, however, the shearing stress simply increases until it reaches the shearing strength and if the deformation is continued beyond this point the resistance remains unchanged. The volume of the sand in this state must correspond to the critical void ratio which is reached when performing a test on the same material in dense state therefore the curves representing the volume changes during shearing tests on material in the dense and the loose state must meet at the critical void ratio when stationary condition is established.”
3.2. Cohesionless and Cohesive Materials
“The angle to the horizontal assumed by the free surface of a heap at rest and obtained under stated conditions:
(i) The poured angle of repose is formed by pouring the bulk solid to form a heap below the pour point.
(ii) The drained angle of repose is formed by allowing a heap to emerge as superincumbent powder is allowed to drain away past the periphery of a horizontal flat platform previously buried in the powder.”
3.3. Yield Criterion
3.4. Void Ratio
- -
- For a given initial void ratio, the dilatancy decreases as the stress level increases.
- -
- For low confining pressure, the stress–strain curve of dense granular materials shows a peak. After the peak, the dilatant volume change becomes less pronounced.
- -
- Dense granular materials under high confining pressures and loose granular materials both show initially contractant volume change.
- -
- A critical state, characterized by the critical stress state and the critical void ratio, will be reached asymptotically with continued deformation. The void ratio at a critical state depends on the stress level; it decreases with an increasing stress level.
