Animating Soil Models

"Animating Soil Models" - Open Education Project

Within the project, I create visualizations related to constitutive models (elastoplasticity, hypoplasticty and barodesy). I already use some animations for teaching. The aim of this project is to make more visualizations and to make those available for everyone on https://soilmodels.com/soilanim/.

Funding: University of Innsbruck: ProLehre project, AURORA Challenge Domains, amount: € 13.808, 12/2020–11/2021

Examples for the animations:

Keeping one axisymmetric stress state fixed: How does c and φ affect strength predictions ? (in p'-q plane and in principal stress space assuming Mohr-Coulomb and Matsuoka-Nakai as failure surfaces)
The difference between Matsuoka-Nakai and Mohr-Coulomb is quantified, here for φ = 20°-50° and c = 0. inspired by Griffiths & Huang (2009): doi: 10.1002/nag.810
How does ν affect the K₀-stress path (the stress path under oedometric compression). Here shown for the linear-elastic model, Mohr-Coulomb hexagon for φ = 30°, c = 0 is added. inspired by Zheng, Liu & Li (2005): doi: 10.1002/nme.1406
