This nDMaterial object provides the bounding surface plasticity model of Borja et al. (2001) in which the bounding surface model is represented using modified Cam-Clay theory (references). In addition to the standard capabilities of the Cam-Clay family of models
(e.g., pressure dependence, hardening with plastic volumetric contraction, softening with plastic dilation, and coupled deviatoric and volumetric plastic deformation), the Borja et al. (2001) model has been enhanced to include an anisotropic bounding surface formulation that allows for consideration of hysteretic behaviour under cyclic loading. This bounding surface Cam-Clay model is coupled with a nonlinear hyperelastic model that considered pressure-dependency in the bulk and shear modulus. The full theory of this model is discussed in great detail in Borja et al. (2001), and the essential ideas are summarized in the theory section of this article.

This nDMaterial object provides the bounding surface plasticity model of Borja et al. (2001) in which the bounding surface model is represented using modified Cam-Clay theory (references). In addition to the standard capabilities of the Cam-Clay family of models (e.g., pressure dependence, hardening with plastic volumetric contraction, softening with plastic dilation, and coupled deviatoric and volumetric plastic deformation), the Borja et al.

This bounding surface Cam-Clay model is coupled with a nonlinear hyperelastic model that considered pressure-dependency in the bulk and shear modulus. The full theory of this model is discussed in great detail in Borja et al. (2001), and the essential ideas are summarized in the theory section of this article.
