A broad diversity of biological organisms and systems interact with soil in ways that facilitate their growth survival. These interactions are made possible by strategies enable to accomplish functions can be analogous those required geotechnical engineering systems. Examples include anchorage soft weak ground, penetration into hard stiff subsurface materials movement loose sand. Since the have been ‘vetted’ process natural selection, they governed same physical laws both engineered...

Abstract Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) has attracted much attention as a promising green technique for soil improvement. Despite the significance of pattern in mind, constitutive relations or numerical models considering finite‐strain mechanical effects various patterns are rarely developed. In this paper, we propose novel 3D DEM modeling scheme by using coarse particles to represent sand grains and fines cementing agents, reproduce MICP‐treated sand. Based on...

Abstract The paper presents a hypoplastic constitutive model for the three‐dimensional non‐linear stress–strain and dilatant volume change behaviour of sand. is developed without recourse to concept in elastoplasticity theory such as yield surface, plastic potential decomposition into elastic parts. Benefited from tensorial functions available representation theorem possesses simple mathematical formulation contains only four material parameters, which can be easily identified with triaxial...

In this paper, we present a unified numerical framework for granular modelling. A constitutive model capable of describing both quasi-static and dynamic behaviours material is developed. Two types particle interactions controlling the mechanical responses, frictional contact collision, are considered by hypoplastic Bagnold-type rheology relation, respectively. The makes no use concepts like yield stress or flow initiation criterion. smooth transition between solid-like fluid-like behaviour...

A thermodynamically consistent phase field model with new crack driving forces is proposed to simulate the mixed-mode fracture phenomena in rock-like materials. The governing equations are derived using volumetric and deviatoric strain split. Based on Benzeggagh–Kenane failure criterion, our captures salient features of different modes, e.g., pure tensile dominated fracture, shear mixed tensile-shear compressive-shear phenomena. fully monolithic algorithm enables obtain stable numerical...

This paper deals with the numerical simulation of initiation and propagation mixed mode fracture in rocks. A bond-level energy-based peridynamic model is developed by introducing a dilatation function to capture both volumetric deviatoric deformations.

This modification offers attractive approach to simulate the process. also provide robust numerical solution strategy treat spatio-temporal evolution of failure. is validated benchmark problems including constant strain patch test and mode-I...
