The history-dependent behaviors of classical plasticity models are often driven by internal
variables evolved according to phenomenological laws. The difficulty to interpret how these …

Geomaterials containing fissures such as some sedimentary rocks often exhibit a bimodal
pore size distribution, and they are also inherently anisotropic due to the distinct bedding …

We present a hybrid model/model-free data-driven approach to solve poroelasticity
problems. Extending the data-driven modeling framework originated from Kirchdoerfer and …

This paper presents a computational framework that generates ensemble predictive
mechanics models with uncertainty quantification (UQ). We first develop a causal discovery …

The evaluation of constitutive models, especially for high-risk and high-regret engineering
applications, requires efficient and rigorous third-party calibration, validation and …

Abstract Cracks, veins, joints, faults, and ocean crusts are strong discontinuities of different
length scales that can be found in many geological formations. While the constitutive laws …

This work looks into the passive failure of tunnel head in strain-softening soils modeled
using a nonlocal constitutive model. The Drucker–Prager yield criterion and plastic potential …

This paper introduces an explicit material point method designed specifically for simulating
the micropolar continuum dynamics in the finite deformation and finite microrotation regime …

A general framework to derive nonlinear elastic and elastoplastic material models from
granular micromechanics is proposed, where a constraint‐based variational structure is …

A non-associative implicit gradient pressure-dependent softening plasticity model and its
numerical implementation are presented to capture strain localization in soils. The …
