Abstract

The implementation of a kinematic elasto-plastic constitutive soil model into an implicit dynamic finite element program is presented. The model can simulate the complex behaviour of geo-materials through a wide range of frequencies, even towards the critical state. The paper presents some of the basic constitutive equations used in its formulation and their implementation into a dynamic finite element program using a Modified Newton-Raphson predictor-corrector solution strategy within an implicit Wilson theta Method algorithm. The paper concludes by illustrating the example of an impact load on a single finite element in conditions of axi-symmetry under both drained and undrained conditions.
