In this article soil is treated as non-uniform material including two parts : the matrix particles and the reinforcement particles. Through soil shear strain energy and micro-crack assumptions, we establish a multiphase constitutive model connecting macro and micro scale based on classical continuum models, which includes the strain gradient, internal length scales and particle size. This model have been verified reasonable by artificial soil experiment.

The Matrix

Two factors, the crosslinking degree of the matrix (ν) and the size of the filler (Sz), have significant impact on the Mullins effect of filled elastomers. Herein, the result. of the two factors on Mullins effect is systematically investigated by adjusting the crosslinking degree of the matrix via adding maleic anhydride into a rubber matrix and controlling the particle size of the filler via ball milling. The dissipation ratios (the ratio of energy dissipation to input strain energy) of different filled natural rubber/butadiene rubber (NR/BR) elastomer composites are evaluated as a function of the maximum strain in cyclic loading (εm). The dissipation ratios show a linear relationship with the increase of εm within the test range, and they depend on the composite composition (ν and Sz). With the increase of ν, the dissipation ratios decrease with similar slope, and this is compared with the dissipation ratios increase which more steeply with the increase in Sz. This is further confirmed through a simulation that composites with larger particle size show a higher strain energy density when the strain level increases from 25% to 35%. The characteristic dependence of the dissipation ratios on ν and Sz is expected to reflect the Mullins effect with mathematical expression to improve engineering performance or prevent failure of rubber products.

Abstract Using the usually accepted assumption that the strain rate of a material undergoing creep is given by the product of the stress deviator and a function of the shear-strain energy, and assuming constant density, equations are derived for the creep stresses in a thick-walled tube under internal pressure for a generalized form of the shear strain-energy function. It is shown that these reduce to previously published equations on the substitution of a power law stress-strain rate equation. The nonisothermal case is considered also and creep-stress equations are obtained in a similarly generalized form.

Shear Strain Energy

After briefly reviewing previous work in this field, the authors propose that rupture of the chip work contact (to give a discontinuous chip) is governed by a limiting shear strain energy condition. Assuming that shear stress and strain at rupture are dependent on the compressive normal stress, a criterion for the direction of the rupture plane is deduced. Using some results given by Field and Merchant, the authors then compare their calculated direction of rupture with that experimentally observed. Some indication that the agreement is not entirely fortuitous is afforded by checking the calculated shear strain energy at fracture with that calculated from force and chip measurements.

Strain Energy Density Theory

The composition of the energy in the process of material deformation and failure and the relationship between energy and strength were summarized; the features, essences and main problems of the energy release rate theory, the three-shear energy theory and the net shear strain energy density theory were illustrated. It is pointed out that the roles of distortion strain energy, volumetric strain energy and dissipated energy are not identical, especially distortion strain energy and volumetric strain energy must be separately processed. The three-shear energy theory and the net shear strain energy density theory can properly deal with the problems, and also well reflect the intermediate principal stress effect. The above research results can provide references for further discussions.

Strain Energy Density Theory

The net shear strain energy density strength theory was systematically explained. Firstly, the composition of elastic strain energy and the roles of their own were analyzed, and it is pointed out that the distortion strain energy is the energy driving failure and the volumetric strain energy can help improve the material strength. Therefore, ultimate energy driving material damage should be the shear strain energy after deducting the friction effect, namely the net shear strain energy, which indicates rationality of the assumption adopted by the net shear strain energy strength theory. Secondly, the empirical laws of geomaterial strength were summarized and explained by using the net shear strain energy theory, which verifies the new theory is appropriate.

Random Fiber Networks

The purpose of this work is to develop anisotropic strain gradient linear elastic continuum models for two-dimensional random fiber networks. The constitutive moduli of the strain gradient equivalent continuum are assessed based on the response of the explicit network representation in so-called windows of analysis, in which each fiber is modeled as a beam and the fibers are connected at crossing points with welded joints. The principle of strain energy equivalence based on the extension to the strain gradient of the Hill–Mandel macro homogeneity condition is employed to identify the classical and strain gradient moduli, based on the application of a sequential set of polynomial displacements on windows of analysis of different sizes. The scaling of the first- and second-order moduli with network parameters, such as network density and the ratio of fiber bending to axial stiffness, is determined. We observe a similar dependency of classical and strain gradient moduli on the same network parameters. The internal length scales associated with the gradient coefficients of the constitutive equation are also defined in terms of the network parameters. The strain gradient moduli prove to be size-independent in the affine regime, and they converge toward a size-independent value in the non-affine deformation regime after a rescaling of physical dimensions by the window size. The obtained results show that the strain gradient moduli scale uniformly with the square of the magnitude of the strain gradients applied to the window of analysis.
