General Information
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 (Schofield and Wroth 1968). 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).
Notes
- The ellipsoidal axis ratio parameter $C is defined such that the ellipsoidal surfaces are C times as wide in the deviatoric direction as they are along the hydrostatic axis. When $C = 1, the surfaces are spherical.
- The overconsolidation ratio (input parameter $OCR) defines the relationship between the loading surface and bounding surface. The radius of the bounding surface, R, is equal to the product of the OCR and the radius of the loading surface, r. When the soil is normally consolidated and $OCR = 1, the bounding and loading surfaces are coincident and virgin loading will occur.
