A practical saturated sand elastic-plastic dynamic constitutive model was developed on the base of Handin-Drnevich class nonlinear lag model and multidimensional model. In this model, during the calculation of loading before soil reaches yielding, unloading and inverse loading, corrected Handin-Drnevich equivalent nonlinear model was adopted; after soil yielding, based on the idea of multidimensional model, the composite hardening law which combines isotropy hardening and follow-up hardening, corrected Mohr-Coulomb yielding criterion and correlation flow principle were adopted. A fully coupled three dimension effective stress dynamic analysis procedure was developed on the base of this model. The seismic response of liquefaction foundation reinforced by stone columns was analyzed by the developed procedure. The research shows that with the diameter of stone columns increasing, the excess pore water pressure in soil between piles decreases; with the spacing of columns increasing, the excess pore water pressure increases. The influence of both is major in middle and lower level of composite foundation.

The current work centers on multi-scale approaches to simulate and predict metallic nano-layers’ thermomechanical responses in crystal plasticity large deformation finite element platforms. The study is divided into two major scales: nano- and homogenized levels where Cu/Nb nano-layers are designated as case studies. At the nano-scale, a size-dependent constitutive model based on entropic kinetics is developed. A deep-learning adaptive boosting technique named single layer calibration is established to acquire associated constitutive parameters through a single process applicable to a broad range of setups entirely different from those of the calibration. The model is validated through experimental data with solid agreement followed by the behavioral predictions of multiple cases regarding size, loading pattern, layer type, and geometrical combination effects for which the performances are discussed. At the homogenized scale, founded on statistical analyses of microcanonical ensembles, a homogenized crystal plasticity-based constitutive model is developed with the aim of expediting while retaining the accuracy of computational processes. Accordingly, effective constitutive functionals are realized where the associated constants are obtained via metaheuristic genetic algorithms. The model is favorably verified with nano-scale data while accelerating the computational processes by several orders of magnitude. Ultimately, a temperature-dependent homogenized constitutive model is developed where the effective constitutive functionals along with the associated constants are determined. The model is validated by experimental data with which multiple demonstrations of temperature effects are assessed and analyzed.

Fatigue crack propagation of aluminium alloy 7049-OA has been studied by non-linear finite element business-oriented software ABAQUS, and elastic-plastic finite element models of static fatigue crack and dynamic fatigue crack of center crack panel (CCP) specimens are also built. Based on the finite element computation results, the differences of stress and crack opening displacement around crack tip of static crack model have been compared with those of dynamic crack model. The compared results showed that the finite element computation results of dynamic crack model can be replaced by the results calculated by the static crack model. Fatigue crack tip parameters of aluminium alloy CCP specimens can be calculated by elastic-plastic finite element model of static crack. This is an effective method to cut down the computation expense and promote the computational efficiency.
