Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of geotechnical engineering technology, and in particular to a method for constructing a creep fractional-order damage constitutive model. Background Technology

[0002] Geogrids, as an important geosynthetic material, have been widely used in railway engineering projects such as roadbed reinforcement, slope protection, and tunnel lining and support. Their unique structure effectively enhances the bearing capacity of soil, addressing the problems of large roadbed settlement and deformation in highway and railway engineering. However, in practical engineering, geogrids exhibit creep behavior and stress relaxation phenomena under tension, leading to stress redistribution and affecting the overall stability of reinforced soil structures. Therefore, research on the creep characteristics of geogrids under soil constraints is of great significance to ensure the safety and durability of reinforced soil structures.

[0003] Component-based models are widely used in practical engineering due to the clear physical meaning of their parameters and their ability to intuitively reflect the complex mechanical properties of geogrids. However, traditional component-based models assume that the model parameters are constants, thus only reflecting a single creep stage of the geogrid. Furthermore, traditional component and combination models only consider the deterioration of the geogrid's mechanical properties during the accelerated creep stage, neglecting the influence of external loads applied during the creep process after loading in actual engineering. Therefore, currently used geogrid creep models cannot describe the entire creep process of geogrids including damage. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for constructing a creep fractional-order damage constitutive model to address the aforementioned technical problems.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: This invention provides a method for constructing a creep fractional-order damage constitutive model, comprising: Creep tests were conducted on geogrids under different types of soil constraint stress to obtain the creep curves of the geogrids. Based on the creep curve of the geogrid, the creep strain of the geogrid at different time points was calculated, and the curve of the creep strain of the geogrid changing with time was plotted. The curve of the creep strain of the geogrid changing with time under the action of soil constraint stress conforms to the creep damage law. Based on the creep damage law, the Khachanov damage variable is introduced to derive the time when the creep damage of the geogrid reaches the critical failure state, and the damage variable in the creep process of the geogrid is determined based on the time when the critical failure state is reached. Obtain a creep fractional constitutive model consisting of spring elements, soft elements, and nonlinear viscous damper elements; Based on the damage variable and the creep fractional order constitutive model, an initial creep fractional order damage constitutive model is constructed. The parameters of the initial creep fractional order damage constitutive model are determined by the curve of creep strain of geogrid with time, and the creep fractional order damage constitutive model is obtained.

[0009] Optionally, the parameters of the initial creep fractional-order damage constitutive model are determined by the curve of creep strain of the geogrid versus time, specifically including: The elastic modulus was obtained by fitting the curve of creep strain of geogrid with time using Hooke's law. Multiple sets of strain, time, soil constraint stress and elastic modulus were obtained based on geogrid creep tests, and a data matrix was generated. The data matrix, damage variables, and initial creep fractional-order damage constitutive model are input into MATLAB, and an objective function is defined. The objective function is constructed based on the strain values ​​obtained from the geogrid creep test, the average strain value measured by the creep test, and the strain values ​​predicted by the initial creep fractional-order damage constitutive model. Multiple parameters of the initial creep fractional-order damage constitutive model are initialized, and the initial parameters of the BFGS algorithm are set; the initial parameters include Armijo search parameters, Armijo condition parameters, and convergence tolerance. Calculate the gradient vector of the initial values ​​of the parameters of the initial creep fractional order damage constitutive model, and check the convergence of the calculated gradient vector; After performing a convergence check, the BFGS algorithm is used for multiple iterations until the objective function value is 1, thus obtaining the parameters of the initial creep fractional-order damage constitutive model. The parameters of the initial creep fractional-order damage constitutive model include... ;in, The viscosity coefficient of the software component. The viscosity coefficient of the nonlinear damper. For order, These are parameters related to the material properties of geogrids.

[0010] Optionally, the objective function is: ; in, The objective function value, For the first i The strain values ​​obtained from the second geogrid creep test. The strain is the average value determined by the creep test. The strain value is the strain value predicted by the initial creep fractional-order damage constitutive model. n This represents the total number of geogrid creep tests.

[0011] Optionally, the BFGS algorithm is used for multiple iterations until the objective function value is 1, thereby obtaining the parameters of the initial creep fractional-order damage constitutive model, specifically including: In each iteration of the solution process, the gradient vector of the parameters in the current iteration is calculated, and it is checked whether the norm of the gradient vector is less than the convergence tolerance. If the norm of the gradient vector is less than the convergence tolerance, then stop the iteration; If the norm of the gradient vector is greater than or equal to the convergence tolerance, the search direction for parameter updates is determined based on the product of the inverse of the approximate Hessian matrix of the current round and the gradient vector. The step size for parameter updates is determined by Armijo line search; Based on the updated step size and search direction, update the parameters and calculate the objective function value corresponding to the updated parameters; By utilizing the parameter difference and gradient difference before and after the update in the current iteration, the inverse of the approximate Hessian matrix in the current iteration is corrected based on the BFGS algorithm to maintain the positive definiteness of the approximate Hessian matrix. The parameters corresponding to the objective function value of 1 are determined as the parameters of the initial creep fractional-order damage constitutive model.

[0012] Optionally, the entire process of geogrid creep test includes deceleration creep, steady-state creep, and accelerated creep.

[0013] Optionally, creep strain includes elastic strain and creep strain.

[0018] The above-mentioned at least one technical solution adopted in this invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: Creep tests were conducted on geogrids under different types of soil constraint stress to obtain creep curves. By simulating the soil constraint conditions on the geogrid in actual engineering projects, the obtained creep curves more closely resembled real-world conditions.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0022] Devices such as desktop computers, servers, and laptops are capable of executing the present invention. For ease of explanation, the following description will focus on servers as the executing entity.

[0023] Creep models have become a hot research topic in academia due to their important guiding role in describing the creep process and predicting failure. They are not only a core achievement of creep experimental research but also provide solid theoretical support for subsequent numerical simulations. There are many types of creep models, including empirical models, component combination models, and damage rheological models. Most models can only describe the first two stages of geogrid creep (deceleration creep stage and steady-state creep stage), and the large number of parameters in the models leads to non-uniqueness of the fitting results. Therefore, establishing geogrid creep models with fewer parameters and better descriptive effects will become an important direction for scholars to study geogrid creep deformation and failure control. Currently, there are two main commonly used theoretical modeling methods: based on the geogrid creep process, new theoretical models are established by superimposing or modifying the components of classic component combination models (Maxwell model, Kelvin model, Burgers model, etc.) in series or parallel.

[0024] Furthermore, although the patent application number 201410157685.0, "A Novel Method for Establishing a Rock Creep Constitutive Model Based on Variable Fractional Derivatives," uses a unified functional expression to describe the rock creep constitutive model, the models built using these methods are all empirical models. These empirical models cannot be programmed in numerical analysis software, and therefore cannot be used for long-term stability analysis in actual rock engineering. Moreover, the model does not consider the degree of damage during the creep process.

[0025] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for constructing a fractional-order time-dependent damage constitutive model of geogrid creep throughout the entire process considering soil constraints, so as to solve the problem that the existing technologies are all empirical models, which cannot be programmed in numerical analysis software and therefore cannot be used for long-term stability analysis in actual geotechnical engineering.

[0026] This invention discloses a fractional-order time-dependent constitutive model for geogrid creep damage considering soil constraints and its construction method, belonging to the field of geotechnical engineering technology. Creep tests are conducted on geogrid specimens under soil constraints to obtain geogrid creep curves. Based on these creep curves, the variation curve of geogrid creep strain over time is plotted. The time required for the geogrid creep damage to reach the critical failure state is derived. t e This method establishes a model that describes the damage variable changes during the creep process of geogrids. It replaces the Newtonian body in the Maxwell model with a soft element and connects it in series with a nonlinear damper to obtain a fractional-order creep model considering time-dependent damage. Finally, based on the creep test results of the geogrid under soil constraint, the model parameters are determined. The model established by this method not only describes the three stages of the entire creep process of geogrids under soil constraint with a unified functional expression, but also reflects the changing characteristics of geogrids at different creep stages. Furthermore, it can be easily programmed into numerical analysis software, facilitating its engineering application.

[0027] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a method for constructing a creep fractional-order damage constitutive model according to the present invention, which specifically includes the following steps: S101: Under different types of soil constraint stress, geogrid creep tests are conducted to obtain the creep curve of the geogrid.

[0029] In one exemplary embodiment, the entire process of the geogrid creep test includes deceleration creep, steady-state creep, and accelerated creep.

[0030] In one exemplary embodiment, creep strain includes elastic strain and creep strain.

[0031] Specifically, soil confinement stress includes , , Creep tests were conducted on geogrids under different types of soil constraint stress to obtain creep curves of the geogrids. Specifically, these tests included tests conducted under soil constraint stress... and Under the action of axial stress, the geogrid underwent accelerated creep within the test time. The creep curves corresponding to accelerated creep included deceleration creep, steady-state creep, and accelerated creep. Under the action of axial stress, the geogrid did not undergo accelerated creep within the test time. The creep curves corresponding to the absence of accelerated creep included deceleration creep and steady-state creep.

[0032] Geogrid specimens were subjected to different constraint stresses using soil confinement stress loading. σ 1. σ 2… σ i1 , σ i Creep test of geogrid under action, The creep curve of the geogrid under the corresponding soil constraint stress was obtained.

[0033] The total strain of geogrids under different soil constraint stresses consists of two parts: instantaneous elastic strain and creep strain; axial stress σ i1 and σ i Under the action of soil constraint stress, the geogrid underwent accelerated creep within the test time. The creep curve included three stages: deceleration creep, steady-state creep, and accelerated creep. The creep curve containing all three stages is the whole-process creep curve. Under other soil constraint stresses, the geogrid did not undergo accelerated creep within the test time. The creep curves only included two stages: deceleration creep and steady-state creep.

[0034] Specifically, an electronic creep testing system for geosynthetics was used to test geogrid samples under different soil constraint stresses. σ 1 = 50 kPa σ 2 = 100 kPa σ 3=150 kPa and σ Under a stress ratio of 45% (4 = 200 kPa), indoor creep tests were conducted on the geogrid to obtain its creep curve under the corresponding soil constraint stress. Figure 2 The indoor creep curves of geogrids under different soil constraint stresses provided by this invention are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the creep of geogrids is affected by different factors and can be mainly divided into three stages: decelerating creep, steady-state creep, and accelerated creep. Under low soil constraint stress... σ 1 = 50 kPa σ 2 = 100 kPa and σ At 3 = 150 kPa, the total strain of the geogrid consists of two parts: the time-independent instantaneous elastic strain generated during the loading process and the creep strain that gradually increases with time. Furthermore, the geogrid did not undergo accelerated creep during the test, and the creep curve only included two stages: decelerated creep and steady-state creep. Under high soil constraint stress... σ When 4 = 200 kPa, the total strain of the geogrid is composed of two parts: the instantaneous elastic strain that is independent of time generated during the loading process and the creep strain that gradually increases with time. However, the geogrid underwent accelerated creep during the test time.

[0035] S102: Based on the creep curve of the geogrid, calculate the creep strain of the geogrid at different time points and plot the curve of the creep strain of the geogrid changing with time; the curve of the creep strain of the geogrid changing with time under the action of soil constraint stress conforms to the creep damage law.

[0036] Specifically, based on the creep curve of the entire creep process of the geogrid exhibiting accelerated creep, the creep strain of the geogrid at different times is calculated, and the curve showing the change of creep strain of the geogrid with time is plotted. The microstructure development of the geogrid during creep is related to factors such as creep strain, load level, and creep time. Therefore, it is necessary to establish reasonable damage variables to describe the deterioration effect inside the geogrid material.

[0037] Figure 3 The geogrid creep electron microscope scanning images provided by the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown in the microscopic morphology diagrams under different soil constraints, it can be seen that pores and cracks appear inside the geogrid material, the fibers are rearranged, and the spacing between the longitudinal ribs is slightly expanded.

[0038] S103: Based on the creep damage law, the Khachanov damage variable is introduced to derive the time when the creep damage of the geogrid reaches the critical failure state, and the damage variable in the creep process of the geogrid is determined based on the time when the critical failure state is reached.

[0039] Based on the fact that the creep strain of geogrid under soil constraint conforms to the creep damage law in fracture mechanics, the Karchanov damage variable is introduced to derive the time required for the geogrid to reach the critical failure state due to creep damage. t e And determine the expression describing the damage changes during the creep process of geogrid.

[0040] Damage variables are introduced during the creep process of geogrids. The derivative of the damage variables with respect to time is given by formula (1): (1); in, D As a damage variable, M and These are all parameters related to material properties. t This refers to the creep time.

[0041] Integrating the damage variable yields the time required for creep damage to reach the critical failure state. t e For formula (2): (2); in, t e The time required for creep damage to reach the critical failure state.

[0042] The expression for the damage variable describing the damage change is derived as formula (3): (3); S104: Obtain the creep fractional constitutive model consisting of spring elements, soft elements, and nonlinear viscous damper elements.

[0043] By replacing the Newtonian elements in the conventional Maxwell model with soft elements and connecting them in series with nonlinear damping elements, and expressing the strain of the soft elements according to the RL calculus operator theory, a creep fractional constitutive model consisting of spring elements, soft elements and nonlinear viscous damping elements is established.

[0044] By combining spring elements, soft elements, and nonlinear viscous damper elements, a fractional-order constitutive model of creep is constructed to describe the entire creep process of geogrid. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the creep fractional-order constitutive model element combination provided by the present invention, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the spring element characterizes the instantaneous tensile strain generated during the initial creep of the geogrid. Fractional-order soft elements characterize the viscoelastic strain generated by the stable development of damage and cracks in geogrids during the deceleration and steady-state creep stages. The nonlinear viscous damper element characterizes the viscoplastic strain generated by the rapid propagation and penetration of damage cracks in the geogrid during the accelerated creep stage. .

When, satisfy , t For a moment, Let be the integral variable, representing the range from 0 to 1. t At a certain moment within the time period, In order to be in The function value of creep time.

[0047] Accordingly, The first derivative is defined by formula (6): (6); in, n greater than The smallest integer, , In order to be in The function value of creep time.

[0048] When function exist t = is integrable near 0, and At that time, The Laplace transform is denoted as Then the Laplace transform of the fractional integral of type RL is given by formula (7): (7); in, The Laplace transform of an RL-type fractional integral. Let the fractional order of the complex frequency variable be denoted as . for The Laplace transform of .

[0049] Soft components can reflect different stress states. When the stress is at a constant level, according to the RL differential operator theory, the constitutive equation of the soft component is formula (8): (8); in, For software component strain, The viscosity coefficient of the software component. For fractional calculus operators, For order, .

[0050] The constitutive equation of the nonlinear viscous damper element is Equation (9): (9); in, The viscosity coefficient of the nonlinear damper. A These are parameters related to viscous properties.

[0051] The creep fractional constitutive model composed of spring elements, soft elements, and nonlinear viscous damper elements is given by formula (10): (10); in, The total strain of the creep fractional-order constitutive model is given by... For the strain of the spring element, For software component strain, For viscoplastic strain, The effective stress of the creep fractional-order constitutive model is... For order, The viscosity coefficient of the nonlinear damper. A These are parameters related to viscous properties. For fractional calculus operators, t Creep time, E 1 represents the elastic modulus.

[0052] S105: Based on the damage variable and the creep fractional order constitutive model, an initial creep fractional order damage constitutive model is constructed, and the parameters of the initial creep fractional order damage constitutive model are determined by the curve of the creep strain of the geogrid changing with time, thus obtaining the creep fractional order damage constitutive model.

[0053] Based on Lemaitre's equivalent strain principle, the creep damage of geogrid is equivalent to the strain equivalent change. Considering the damage effect, a creep damage constitutive model is obtained.

[0054] In one exemplary embodiment, the parameters of the initial creep fractional-order damage constitutive model vary with the soil constraint.

[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, an initial creep fractional-order damage constitutive model is constructed based on damage variables and a creep fractional-order constitutive model. Specifically, this includes: expressing the effective stress in the creep fractional-order constitutive model as follows, according to the stress-strain equivalence principle and damage variables: ;in, D As a damage variable, For the stress in the fractional-order constitutive model of creep, The effective stress of the creep fractional-order constitutive model; Substituting into the fractional-order creep constitutive model, we obtain the initial fractional-order creep damage constitutive model.

[0067] Step 3: Parameter initialization and algorithm settings.

[0068] For the parameters of the fractional-order creep damage constitutive model to be identified, the following initial conditions are set: Based on the experimental results and the expression of the damage variable, the initial solution of the parameters of the fractional-order creep damage constitutive model is given; the maximum number of iterations, Armijo line search parameters, Armijo condition judgment parameters, and convergence tolerance are set; gradient calculation is performed, and the partial derivatives of each model parameter in the objective function need to be calculated for the determination of the subsequent search direction.

[0069] Step 4: Solve using BFGS iteration.

[0070] Gradient calculation and convergence judgment: Calculate the gradient vector at the current parameter point and check if its norm is less than the convergence tolerance. If it is satisfied, stop the iteration; otherwise, continue. Determine the search direction: Use the current approximation. Hessian The product of the matrix inverse and the gradient determines the search direction for parameter updates; Armijo Line search determines the step size: Perform a one-dimensional search along the search direction and select the values ​​that satisfy the condition. Armijo The step size is determined by the condition to ensure the objective function decreases sufficiently; parameters and function values ​​are updated: parameters are updated according to the search direction and step size, and function values ​​at the new parameter points are calculated; the Hessian approximation matrix is ​​updated: using the parameter differences and gradient differences in the current iteration, based on... BFGS The algorithm corrects the inverse of the Hessian matrix to avoid directly calculating the second derivative and maintains the positive definiteness of the matrix; repeated iteration: repeat the above process until the convergence condition is met or the maximum number of iterations is reached, and finally output the five model parameter values ​​that make the objective function optimal.

[0071] Step 5: Parameter sensitivity analysis.

[0072] After obtaining the optimal parameter set, further parameter sensitivity analysis is carried out: keeping other parameters constant, Poisson's ratio, soft element parameters and viscosity coefficient of nonlinear viscous damper are adjusted respectively, the changes in model prediction results are observed, the influence of each parameter on the model output is evaluated, and thus the key parameters affecting constitutive behavior are identified.

[0073] Initial creep fractional-order damage constitutive model parameters All solutions are based on the BFGS algorithm. In each iteration, the local minima of the function are found by progressively improving the fitting second derivative information, and then determined using MATLAB. The steps are as follows: Step 1: Input the strain (as in formula (14), time (as in formula (15), stress (as in formula (16), elastic modulus, and stiffness matrix) from the experiment into MATLAB: (14).

R 2 The objective function is shown in formula (17), and is for... The partial derivatives of the parameter solution are given by formula (17): (17).

[0077] Step 3: Assign initial parameter values ​​based on experimental data and engineering experience. Set the maximum number of iterations to 500, the Armijo search parameter to 0.55, the Armijo condition parameter to 0.4, and the convergence tolerance to epsilon1e-5. Calculate the initial gradient. ,in, This is the gradient vector at the current parameter point. Represents the MATLAB function evaluation operators. This is the gradient function, which returns the partial derivatives of the objective function with respect to each parameter. Viscosity coefficient of software components , The viscosity coefficient of the nonlinear damper , Poisson's ratio , For the constitutive model equations Convergence check ,in, The 2-norm of the gradient vector measures the magnitude of the gradient. This is the convergence threshold of the gradient norm; iteration stops when the gradient is sufficiently small.

[0078] Step 4: Solve the equations and calculate the search direction. ,in, The search direction vector, For approximate Hession matrix, Given the gradient vector, the Armijo line search determines the step size, calculates the new function value, and performs Armijo condition checks.

[0080] if but Finally, the optimal parameters are obtained. This is the updated approximate Hession matrix. For parameter change vectors, This is the gradient change vector.

[0081] Step 5: Based on the optimal parameters, change the Poisson ratio. Viscosity coefficients of soft components and nonlinear dampers Parameter sensitivity analysis was performed to obtain the specific impact on creep strain.

[0082] Among them, to study the effect of Poisson's ratio on accelerated creep time, it is necessary to first convert the damage variable in formula (3) into a variable. D Poisson's ratio Solve for the partial derivatives and use the chain rule to obtain formula (18); then solve for the partial derivatives of the strain value with respect to Poisson's ratio in formula (12), and substitute the damage variable equation into it, i.e., formula (19), and perform Poisson's ratio calculation. Sensitivity analysis.

[0083] (18); (19); Study viscosity coefficient The effect of accelerated creep time is calculated by applying the strain value to the viscosity coefficient in formula (11). Solving for the partial derivatives yields the specific expressions, which are given by formulas (20) and (21): (20); (twenty one); The inversion determination results of creep parameters under different axial stresses are shown in Table 1.

[0084] Table 1 Figure 6 The damage variable D development curves provided by this invention under different soil constraint stresses can be obtained by substituting the Poisson's ratio under different soil constraints into formula (3). D The curve as it progresses over time, such as Figure 6 As shown, under different soil lateral confinement conditions, the damage development of geogrids is rapid in the early stage, exhibiting exponential growth, while the damage variable approaches 1 in the later stage. Overall, the creep accumulation damage of geogrids under soil lateral confinement has a limit value; after exceeding a certain threshold, the damage development stabilizes, and numerous micro-defects develop within the geogrid, even partially penetrating it. With increasing soil lateral confinement, the damage increases; when the confinement increases from 50 kPa to 200 kPa, the stabilization time increases, and the damage variable decreases by 43.3%.

[0085] In an exemplary embodiment, in order to study the applicability of each part of the creep fractional-order time-dependent damage constitutive model, the present invention specifically addresses the Poisson's ratio. Viscosity coefficient of software components Viscosity coefficient in nonlinear dampers Sensitivity and stress correlation analysis were performed on parameters such as these.

[0086] Poisson's ratio Sensitivity analysis was conducted on the main geogrid under soil constraints of 50, 100, 150, and 200 kPa, showing the Poisson's ratio. Using 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9 as baselines respectively, the optimal solution is kept unchanged. First, calculate the partial derivatives of the damage variable formula (3) and the constitutive model formula (12) with respect to Poisson's ratio, as shown in formulas (18) and (19). Then, calculate the sensitivity response matrix. Substitute the curve into formula (19) to obtain the predicted curve, fit it with the experimental discrete points, determine the optimal range of Poisson's ratio, and study the evolution law of the model creep curve. Figure 7 The Poisson's ratio sensitivity analysis curve provided by this invention is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, strain increases sharply with increasing Poisson's ratio, and the rate of increase gradually increases. During creep, the material's Poisson's ratio is around 0.3–0.5, showing the best fit with the experimental results. After 316 h, the experimental strain tends to stabilize, reflecting that the damage development of the grid is relatively stable during the decay and steady-state creep stages. Later-stage damage under soil lateral confinement. D It tends to stabilize, but when the stress is relatively high, an accelerated creep stage is added.

[0087] Viscosity coefficient of software components Sensitivity analysis was conducted on the viscosity coefficient of the main geogrid under soil constraints of 50, 100, 150, and 200 kPa. Using 20, 50, 80, 100, and 120 as references respectively, the viscosity coefficient of the soft component is first determined by the constitutive model formula (12). The partial derivatives, i.e., formula (20), are then used to determine the sensitivity response matrix. Substituting the other optimal parameters into formula (20) yields the predicted curve, which is then fitted to the experimental discrete points to determine the optimal curve. The optimal range was determined by studying the influence of model parameters on the evolution of the creep strain curve. Figure 8 The viscosity coefficient of the software component provided by this invention Sensitivity analysis curves, such as Figure 8 As shown, the slope of the strain-time curve gradually decreases with the increase of the viscosity coefficient of the soft component, and the viscosity coefficient increases with the increase of the soil lateral confinement. It exhibits a non-linear decreasing trend and a decrease in sensitivity.

[0088] Viscosity coefficient in nonlinear dampers Sensitivity analysis was conducted on the viscosity coefficient of the main geogrid under soil constraints of 50, 100, 150, and 200 kPa. Using 200, 500, 1000, 1500 and 3000 as references respectively, the creep fractional damage constitutive model formula (12) was first applied to the viscosity coefficient of the nonlinear damper. The partial derivatives, i.e., formula (21), are then used to determine the sensitivity response matrix. Substituting the other optimal parameters into formula (21) yields the predicted curve, which is then fitted to the experimental discrete points to determine the optimal curve. The optimal range was determined by studying the influence of model parameters on the evolution of the creep strain curve. Figure 9 The viscosity coefficient of the series nonlinear damper element provided by this invention Sensitivity analysis curves, such as Figure 9 As shown, when the viscosity coefficient is less than 1000, the strain-time curve changes more significantly, and the slope of the curve decreases as the viscosity coefficient increases.

[0089] As Poisson's ratio increases and the viscosity coefficient decreases, the time for the accelerated creep phase to occur decreases. The sensitivity order of the parameters Poisson's ratio and viscosity coefficient to the occurrence time of the accelerated creep phase is: Poisson's ratio... Viscosity coefficient of software components Viscosity coefficient of nonlinear damper .
