Abstract: | Deficiencies of constitutive models in prediction of dilatancy are often attributed to simplifications associated with flow rules such as assumptions of isotropy and coaxiality. It is thus proposed here to develop a comprehensive flow rule for granular materials by including the effect of fabric and without the assumption of coaxiality. A second-order tensor is introduced as a fabric for the distribution of contact normals and contact forces. By using the energy principle in micro-mechanical scale and a suitable dissipation mechanism in granular materials, a stress-dilatancy relation is obtained. Fabric plays a “bridge-like” role in the dilatancy and non-coaxiality. Non-coaxialities between stress-strain-fabric are attributed to the non-coaxiality between stress-fabric and strain-fabric. In this formulation the constants for modeling fabric depend on non-coaxiality of the system rather than the history that determines such a state. Ability of this stress-fabric-dilatancy for modeling the non-coaxiality shows that this relation can predict the behavior of granular materials in the presence of the rotation of principal stress axes. |
