This command is used to construct a 2-dimensional PM4Silt material.

$matTag integer tag identifying material
Primary:
$S_u Undrained shear strength
$Su_Rat Undrained shear strength ratio. If both S_u and Su_Rat values are specified, the value of S_u is used.
$G_o Shear modulus constant
$h_po Contraction rate parameter
$Den Mass density of the material
$Su_factor Optional, Undrained shear strength reduction factor
$P_atm Optional, Atmospheric pressure
Secondary:
$nG Optional, Shear modulus exponent. Default value is 0.75.
$h0 Optional, Variable that adjusts the ratio of plastic modulus to elastic modulus. Default value is 0.5.
$eInit Optional, Initial void ratios. Default value is 0.90.
$lambda Optional, The slope of critical state line in e-ln(p) space. Default value is 0.060.
$phicv Optional, Critical state effective friction angle. Default value is 32 degrees.
$nb_wet Optional, Bounding surface parameter for loose of critical state conditions, 1.0 ≥ $nb_wet ≥ 0.01. Default value is 0.8.
$nb_dry Optional, Bounding surface parameter for dense of critical state conditions, $nb_dry ≥ 0. Default value is 0.5.
$nd Optional, Dilatancy surface parameter $nd ≥ 0. Default value is 0.3.
$Ado Optional, Dilatancy parameter. Default value is 0.8.
$ru_max Optional, Maximum pore pressure ratio based on p'.
$z_max Optional, Fabric-dilatancy tensor parameter
$cz Optional, Fabric-dilatancy tensor parameter. Default value is 100.0.
$ce Optional, Variable that adjusts the rate of strain accumulation in cyclic loading
$cgd Optional, Variable that adjusts degradation of elastic modulus with accumulation of fabric. Default value is 3.0.
$ckaf Optional, Variable that controls the effect that sustained static shear stresses have on plastic modulus. Default value is 4.0.
$nu Optional, Poisson's ratio. Default value is 0.3.
$m_m Optional, Yield surface constant (radius of yield surface in stress ratio space). Default value is 0.01.
$CG_consol Optional, Reduction factor of elastic modulus for reconsolidation. $CG_consol ≥ 1. Default value is 2.0.

The material formulation for the PM4Silt object is "PlaneStrain"

Notes

  • Valid Element Recorder queries are
    • stress, strain
    • alpha (or backstressratio) for <math>\mathbf{\alpha}</math>
    • fabric for <math>\mathbf{z}</math>
    • alpha_in (or alphain) for <math>\mathbf{\alpha_{in}}</math>
e.g.
 recorder Element -eleRange 1 $numElem -time -file stress.out  stress
  • Elastic or Elastoplastic response could be enforced by
Elastic: updateMaterialStage -material $matTag -stage 0
Elastoplastic: updateMaterialStage -material $matTag -stage 1
  • If default values are used for secondary parameters, the model must be initialized after elastic gravity stage by

setParameter -value 0 -ele $elementTag FirstCall $matTag

  • Post-shake reconsolidation can be activated by

setParameter -value 1 -ele $elementTag Postshake $matTag

Example

Example 1 2D undrained monotonic direct simple shear test using one element
Example 2 2D undrained cyclic direct simple shear test using one element
