- nDMaterial('stressDensity', matTag, mDen, eNot, A, n, nu, a1, b1, a2, b2, a3, b3, fd, muNot, muCyc, sc, M, patm, *ssls, hsl, p1)
This command is used to construct a multi-dimensional stress density material object for modeling sand behaviour following the work of Cubrinovski and Ishihara (1998a,b).
matTag
(int)integer tag identifying material
mDen
(float)mass density
eNot
(float)initial void ratio
A
(float)constant for elastic shear modulus
n
(float)pressure dependency exponent for elastic shear modulus
nu
(float)Poisson’s ratio
a1
(float)peak stress ratio coefficient (\(etaMax = a1 + b1*Is\))
b1
(float)peak stress ratio coefficient (\(etaMax = a1 + b1*Is\))
a2
(float)max shear modulus coefficient (\(Gn_max = a2 + b2*Is\))
b2
(float)max shear modulus coefficient (\(Gn_max = a2 + b2*Is\))
a3
(float)min shear modulus coefficient (\(Gn_min = a3 + b3*Is\))
b3
(float)min shear modulus coefficient (\(Gn_min = a3 + b3*Is\))
fd
(float)degradation constant
muNot
(float)dilatancy coefficient (monotonic loading)
muCyc
(float)dilatancy coefficient (cyclic loading)
sc
(float)dilatancy strain
M
(float)critical state stress ratio
patm
(float)atmospheric pressure (in appropriate units)
void ratio of quasi steady state (QSS-line) at pressures [pmin, 10kPa, 30kPa, 50kPa, 100kPa, 200kPa, 400kPa] (default = [0.877, 0.877, 0.873, 0.870, 0.860, 0.850, 0.833])
hsl
(float)void ratio of upper reference state (UR-line) for all pressures (default = 0.895)
p1
(float)pressure corresponding to ssl1 (default = 1.0 kPa)
The material formulations for the StressDensityModel object are:
'ThreeDimensional'
'PlaneStrain'
