1 GEO E050 Finite Element Method Mohr-Coulomb and other constitutive models Wojciech Sołowski

2 To learn today. Reminder elasticity 2. Elastic perfectly plastic theory: concept 3. Specific elastic-perfectly plastic models: - Mohr Coulomb (important) - Hoek Brown (important for rock mechanics) - Tresca - von Mises More derivations, Boundary Element Method, Finite Difference Method moved to next lecture: we need models for exercises Department of Civil Engineering Finite Element Method. W. Sołowski 2

3 Philosophy Geomaterials behaviour COMPLEX Constitutive models huge simplifications usually the simplification designer is making is mainly about choice of model and its parameters Model and choice of its parameters must be clearly selected for given problem. No constitutive model for geomaterials is good for solving all problems. (these which are trying to be good for everything, like the MIT constitutive model for geomaterials are extremely complex and difficult to use, validate and calibrate) Need to balance simplicity, accuracy and problem needs Department of Civil Engineering Finite Element Method. W. Sołowski 3

4 Philosophy Challenge: - understand the simplifications - use them to your benefit - get accurate results from crude tools - no results is right - each result is because of the assumptions made - if you do good job with modelling, you will get result which is close to reality also because you have chosen the right model yet primarily because you have chosen the right set of parameters for the model and the problem Department of Civil Engineering Finite Element Method. W. Sołowski 4

7 Elasticity Idea: - one of the oldest approaches to describe material behaviour - assumes that after removing the stress the material returns back to the initial state - behaviour is reversible ) no matter the level of stress, the material will not break 2) no matter the level of stress, after removing it, the material will be back in the original state before the loading, no change Department of Civil Engineering Finite Element Method. W. Sołowski 7

8 Elasticity Linear elasticity useful? Real soil behaviour Department of Civil Engineering Finite Element Method. W. Sołowski 8

9 Elasticity Can be useful as long as you know the stress level, deformations and have data on how the soil behaves at that stress level and deformations level - than you just choose the exactly right elastic parameter for given circumstances and calculate the strains from the stresses or stresses from strains - used for example in calculations of settlements we know the stress levels from some simple solutions than we compute strains using right set of elastic parameters for given small layer of soil Can be pretty accurate Department of Civil Engineering Finite Element Method.

11 Non-linear elasticity Real soil behaviour Department of Civil Engineering Finite Element Method. W. Sołowski

12 Non-linear elasticity We can only match single line as no dependency on stress level Real soil behaviour Department of Civil Engineering Finite Element Method. W. Sołowski 2

13 Non-linear elasticity el = D ) ε ( 0 Department of Civil Engineering Finite Element Method. W. Sołowski 3

14 Hypoelasticity Introduces dependence on stress level etc; adds complexity but does not solve all problems; still there are some successful models based on these concepts Non-linear elasticity: Real soil behaviour Department of Civil Engineering Finite Element Method. W. Sołowski 4

15 Elasto-plasticity Idea: - let s divide strains into these which are elastic (which are fully recoverable) and plastic (which are generally not) - assumes that after removing the stress the material does not necessarily returns back to the initial state (only the elastic part of strains is reversible) - plastic behaviour (in simpler models) unrecoverable - in more advanced models, the plastic strains are connected to the model parameter called hardening parameter - in such case if we have hardening parameter decrease, the plastic strain will decrease too Department of Civil Engineering Finite Element Method. W. Sołowski 5

16 Basic Concepts of Perfect Plasticity

18 Plastic Behaviour F A Idealization of elasto-plastic behaviour A C Y P O B D L L 0 Yield point, the stress cannot be higher than this value Elastic behaviour Plastic behaviour: unrestricted plastic flow takes place at this stress level. p ε ε e ε ε ε = ε e + ε p

19 Plastic Behaviour Idealization of elasto-plastic behaviour, different models Yield limit depends on (effective) stresses ε ε ε ε Rigid Perfectly Plastic Elasto-plastic perfect plasticity Elasto-plastic hardening Elasto-plastic softening dε = dε e + dε p total elastic plastic

20 Some Basic Concepts Plastic models allow to determine in a direct way the ultimate states and failure to model irrecoverable strains to model changes in material behaviour to model a more proper way the behaviour of fragile or quasi-fragile materials

21 Some Basic Concepts Strains (ε) Total strains Elastic strains (recoverable on unloading) Plastic strains (not recoverable on unloading) Total strains = Elastic strains + Plastic strains Stresses () Total stresses = Effective stresses + Pore Pressures

22 Yield Surface Used to delimit the elastic domain PLASTIC On the surface IMPOSSIBLE STATE Outside It is a generalization of the D case Yield limit (-D) Yield surface (2D- 3D) 3 ELASTIC Inside yield surface 2 F(, ξ ) = 0 F( )=0 ij i

23 Flow Rule In one-dimensional problem, it is clear that plastic strains take place along the direction of applied stress, ε p ε p In 2D or 3D we need to make a hypothesis regarding the direction of plastic flow (relative magnitude of plastic strain increments) 3, ε 3 p

24 Plastic Potential and Flow Rule Plastic Deformations In general, dε p ij control the magnitude of plastic deformation g = dλ ij control the direction of the plastic deformations: the vector of the plastic deformations is normal to the g = constant surfaces g

25 Plastic Potential and Flow Rule Yield Surface (f) and Plastic Potential (g) are generally different functions If f g => associated plasticity The components of the plastic deformations are related, i.e. there is a coupling, which is defined by the flow rule The plastic deformations depend on the stress state rather than the increment of the stresses applied

26 Plastic Potential and Flow Rule FLOW RULE ASSOCIATED FLOW RULE NON ASSOCIATED The flow rule defines direction of plastic strain increment So, we know the plastic-strain direction, but how we can determine the magnitude?

27 Mohr Coulomb Model

28 3 3 2 = 3 Mohr-Coulomb Idealisation of Geomaterials E 3 3 ε

29 Elasto-plasticity: Mohr-Coulomb Reasonably good for: - determining soil strength - especially when soil is *not* overconsolidated Bad for: - deformations - inaccuarate both in elastic and plastic regions F = ( ) ( + )sinφ 2c cosφ = Problem: cohesion is not constant. Friction angle is also not constant (but changes usually little in the usable range) Department of Civil Engineering Finite Element Method. W. Sołowski 29

30 Elasto-plasticity: Mohr-Coulomb Engineers are used to MC model so it is widely used Many modifications to improve its prediction of deformations F = ( ) ( + )sinφ 2c cosφ = Problem: cohesion is not constant. Friction angle is also not constant (but changes usually little in the usable range) Department of Civil Engineering Finite Element Method. W. Sołowski 30

31 Elasto-plasticity: Mohr-Coulomb F = ( ) ( + )sinφ 2c cosφ = Department of Civil Engineering Finite Element Method. W. Sołowski 3

32 Mohr Coulomb Yield/Failure Condition Yielding (and failure) takes place in the soil mass when mobilised (actual) shear stress at any plane (τ m ) becomes equal to shear strength (τ f ) which is given by: τ m = c + n tanφ = τ f where c and φ are strength parameters. f( )= τ - n tanφ c = 0

33 τ Failure criterion 3 2 n > > 2 3 Note that the value of intermediate stress ( 2 ) does not influence failure

34 τ τ = c + tanφ f n φ τ f C D c A 3 90 φ nf B 2θ n 45 φ 2 45 φ 2 > F 3 3 FAILURE PLANES = ( ) ( + )sinφ 2c cosφ = 0

35 Mohr-Coulomb in Principal Stress Space 3 2 = 2 = 3 Mohr Coulomb failure surface is a irregular hexagon in the principal stress space

36 Mohr-Coulomb in Principal Stress Space Mohr-Coulomb dε p It has corners that may sometimes create problems in computations 3 2

37 Flow Rule for Mohr Coulomb For Mohr-Coulomb flow rule is defined through the dilatancy angle of the soil. τ Plastic potential function Yield function φ G( )= τ - n tanψ const.= 0 ψ where ψ is the dilatancy angle and ψ φ. 3 n > > 2 3

38 Associated and Non-Associated Flow Rule τ, γ τ, dγ p F=0 G=0 n, dε n p, ε n p n

39 How to understand dilatancy i.e., why do we get volume changes when applying shear stresses? ϕ = ψ + ϕ i The apparent externally mobilized angle of friction on horizontal planes (ϕ) is larger than the angle of friction resisting sliding on the inclined planes (ϕ i ) strength = friction + dilatancy

40 How to understand dilatancy When dense sands or overconsolidated clays are sheared they dilate Larger the particle size, greater the dilation Mohr-Coulomb idealisation implies dilation at a constant rate when soil is sheared. This is unrealistic.

50 MC model for element tests

51 Limitations of MC model ()

52 Limitations of MC model (2)

53 Warning for dense sands

54 Tips for fine-grained soils

55 Drawbacks of MC Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion is well proven through experiments for most geomaterials, but data for clays is still contradictory! An associated flow rule implies continuous dilation at a constant rate upon shearing; this is unrealistic and leads to negative pore pressures in undrained conditions. In an non-associated flow rule with ψ < φ, the rate of dilation is less, but it is still constant. If ψ = 0 then the rate of dilation is zero. Care must be taken in applying the model for undrained loading.

56 Drawbacks of MC Soils on shearing exhibit variable volume change characteristics depending on pre-consolidation pressure which cannot be accounted for with MC In soft soils volumetric plastic strains on shearing are compressive (negative dilation) whilst Mohr-Coulomb model will predict continuous dilation

57 To summarize the limitations of MC are: bi-linearity (const. E ) unlimited dilation isotropy elastic response far from the limit state more advanced approximation of soil behavior: Hardening Soil Model (sand), Soft Soil Model (clay)
