05 Modelling-Plasticity

This document discusses plasticity modeling. It defines elasticity as reversible deformation under stress, while plasticity describes permanent deformation without collapse under high stresses. Deformation has elastic and plastic components. The stress-strain curve for materials under load has three phases: void closure, elastic deformation, and plastic deformation. Plasticity is calculated as incremental elastic strain plus incremental plastic strain. The flow rule describes plastic strain increments after yielding, and can be associated or non-associated depending on the material properties. FLAC3D uses the Mohr-Coulomb model which is always non-associated, with post-peak behavior controlled by the dilatation angle.

Deformation behaviour
• The stress-strain curve has 3 components before
failure:
1. Void closure – where the voids in the specimen close
2. Elastic component – elastic deformation
3. Plastic deformation – permanent deformation

• Each of the above 3 component


play an important role in failure

FLAC3D – Mohr-Coulomb model
The Mohr-Coulomb model thus always relates to non-
associated flow and the post-peak behavior is
controlled by the dilatation angle (as well as any
softening criteria applied)
