A Hypoelastic Dynamic Constitutive Model to Account for the Hysteretic Behaviour of Soil Subjected to Cyclic Loads

To reduce the difficulties associated with dynamic constitutive models, a model was established for soil in this study based on hypoelasticity. The stress-strain relationship in soil under a cyclic load was divided into three stages: initial loading, unloading, and reloading. The stress-strain relationship in each stage was ascertained using a hyperbolic equation. On this basis, the physical significance of the parameters in the model and their method of determination were described. The effects of the parameters on the stress-strain relationship were investigated and the integration algorithm of the model was established. Finally, the rationality of the proposed model was verified by conducting triaxial tests under conventional and cyclic loads. The results show that the model is able to adequately demonstrate all the stress-strain relations in the soil under both static and dynamic loads.
