A thermomechanical constitutive model for cemented granular materials with quantifiable internal variables. Part I-Theory

Tengattini, Alessandro ; Das, Arghya ; Nguyen, Giang D. ; Viggiani, Gioacchino ; Hall, Stephen LU and Einav, Itai (2014) In Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids 70. p.281-296
Abstract
This is the first of two papers introducing a novel thermomechanical continuum constitutive model for cemented granular materials. Here, we establish the theoretical foundations of the model, and highlight its novelties. At the limit of no cement, the model is fully consistent with the original Breakage Mechanics model. An essential ingredient of the model is the use of measurable and micro-mechanics based internal variables, describing the evolution of the dominant inelastic processes. This imposes a link between the macroscopic mechanical behavior and the statistically averaged evolution of the microstructure. As a consequence this model requires only a few physically identifiable parameters, including those of the original breakage... (More)
