Abstract

This study presents a novel formulation for incorporating anisotropy into the generalized plasticity constitutive model. Generalized plasticity is a hierarchical framework allowing for extensibility, in order to encompass new phenomena and improve its predictive capabilities. Anisotropy formulation is based experimentally on the phase transformation state and considers explicitly the direction of the maximum principal stress and the magnitude of the intermediate principal stress, through an anisotropy state variable that contributes to the state parameter. Additionally, the model incorporates the fabric using an evolving fabric variable that reflects initial fabric due to sample preparation method for granular soils. The formulation is simple and introduces three constitutive parameters, allowing for straightforward implementation into the constitutive model and direct application in finite element analysis. The model is validated with undrained triaxial tests conducted on Toyoura sand, covering a wide range of initial conditions with a unique set of constitutive parameters, and yielding overall satisfactory results despite some limitations.
