Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of geotechnical engineering technology, and more specifically to a method and system for analyzing soil stress-strain relationship based on energy change rate, which is particularly suitable for analyzing the strain softening and shear dilatation coupling behavior of granular soils such as saturated sand during shearing. Background Technology
[0002] The stress-strain relationship in soil exhibits significant nonlinear characteristics and is traditionally described using deviatoric stress-strain curves, which are categorized into strain hardening and strain softening. For strain hardening behavior, relatively mature mathematical models exist (such as the Duncan-Chang model and the Lade-Duncan model). However, describing and modeling strain softening and dilatation behaviors remains challenging, primarily due to the complex curve shapes and the unclear coupling mechanism between volume change and strength attenuation.
[0003] Classical dilatation theory, such as the Rowe equation, considers the dilatation parameter... While treating stress-strain as a constant or a simple function, or expressing it as a function of state parameters, it still fails to reveal the intrinsic compensation mechanism between strain softening and shear dilatation from an energy perspective. Traditional stress-strain analysis often focuses on the response in one direction, failing to fully couple the energy conversion processes of stress and strain in all directions during shearing.
[0004] In recent years, constitutive modeling research based on thermodynamics and energy principles has made some progress, but a complete analytical method has not yet been formed to directly extract energy evolution characteristics from experimental data and use them to reveal the soil softening-dilatation coupling mechanism.
[0005] Therefore, how to design a soil deformation analysis method and system that can reveal the energy absorption, transformation and dissipation mechanism in the soil deformation process from the perspective of energy conservation is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0009] Preferably, S1 includes the following steps: Based on triaxial shear tests of soil, data on axial stress, confining pressure, axial strain, and volumetric strain of soil samples during the shearing process are obtained.

Furthermore, the absolute values of its first derivative in the increasing and decreasing segments are greater than or equal to a preset threshold, which is used to characterize the abrupt transition of the friction state between soil particles from static friction to dynamic friction. Section B is a horizontal platform shape, the curve shows the characteristics of a platform, and the absolute value of its first derivative remains within a preset threshold range, which is used to characterize the relatively stable stage of energy absorption rate. The C segment exhibits a slow decay pattern, with the curve showing a monotonically decreasing trend. Furthermore, the absolute value of its first derivative in the decreasing segment is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, which is used to characterize the gradual weakening of the energy compensation effect.
[0014] Preferably, in S4, the energy change rate and shear dilatation parameter are established. The analytical relationship between them:
[0015] in, For state parameters, Porosity Critical porosity ratio, The critical stress ratio. This is the unloading coefficient.
[0016] Preferably, in S5, the quasi-constant value of the energy change rate during the plateau phase is used. , construct stress ratio With the shear dilatation parameter Explicit constitutive relation model between them:
[0017] in, Let be a quasi-constant related to the soil state, expressed as .
[0018] Preferably, the explicit constitutive relation model is used to calibrate the dilatation parameters in the soil constitutive model, or as a stress-strain relation module in the soil constitutive model, and is directly used for geotechnical numerical calculations or stability assessments.
[0019] Preferably, in S5, the dynamic energy compensation result between the decrease in deviatoric stress and the work done by shear dilatation in the strain softening stage of the soil is as follows: it is determined that in the strain softening stage, there is a dynamic compensation relationship between the reduction in shear energy consumption caused by the decrease in deviatoric stress and the increase in work done by volume expansion caused by shear dilatation, which makes the rate of change of total energy tend to stabilize.
[0020] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide a soil deformation analysis system based on the aforementioned soil deformation analysis method based on energy change rate, comprising: The test data acquisition module is used to acquire stress-strain test data of soil samples during the shearing process; The energy calculation module is used to calculate the rate of energy change under unit shear strain based on the stress-strain test data, according to the principle of energy conservation.

The analytical relationship construction module, based on the state-related dilatation theory model, associates the energy change rate with the state-related dilatation parameters of the soil sample to establish an analytical relationship between the energy change rate and the dilatation parameters. The energy compensation analysis module, based on the plateau-gradient morphological characteristics of the energy change rate-shear strain relationship curve and the analytical relationship, constructs an explicit constitutive relationship model between the stress ratio and the dilatation parameter, which is used to generate dynamic energy compensation results between the decrease in deviatoric stress and the work done by dilatation on the soil during the strain softening stage.

The "peak-fall" characteristic of the normalized energy curve intuitively reflects the abrupt transition of interparticle friction from static friction to kinetic friction, providing new evidence for understanding the micro-mechanism of soil shear initiation.
[0024] This invention supports the construction of soil constitutive models. Based on the "plateau-gradient" stability characteristics of energy change rate, it can be used as an internal variable or constraint condition to construct soil constitutive models, simplifying parameter calibration and enhancing the physical meaning of the model.

[0028] This invention discloses a method for soil deformation analysis based on the rate of energy change, such as... Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps: S1: Obtain stress-strain test data of soil samples during shearing; S2: Based on the principle of energy conservation, calculate the rate of energy change under unit shear strain according to stress-strain test data; S3: Based on the data of energy change rate and shear strain, plot the energy change rate-shear strain relationship curve and identify the shape characteristics of the curve; S4: Based on the state-related dilatation theory model, the energy change rate is correlated with the state-related dilatation parameters of the soil sample to establish an analytical relationship between the energy change rate and the dilatation parameters; S5: Based on the plateau-gradient morphological characteristics and analytical relationship of the energy change rate-shear strain relationship curve, an explicit constitutive relationship model between stress ratio and dilatation parameter is constructed to generate dynamic energy compensation results between the decrease of deviatoric stress and the work done by dilatation on the soil during the strain softening stage.
[0029] In one embodiment, S1 includes the following steps: Based on triaxial shear tests of soil, the axial stress of the soil sample during the shearing process is obtained. Confining pressure Axial strain and volumetric strain The data was used to calculate the spherical stress (mean principal stress). eccentric stress Shear strain It is used to calculate the rate of change of energy under unit shear strain.
[0030] In one embodiment, the rate of energy change in S2 Calculated using the following formula:
[0031] in, It is a deviatoric stress. For the mean principal stress, For volumetric strain, For shear strain, The rate of change of volumetric strain with shear strain.
[0032] In one embodiment, the energy change rate-shear strain relationship curve is plotted in S3. The steps for (curve) include: Normalizing the rate of energy change yields the normalized energy curve:
[0033] Plot the relationship between energy change rate and shear strain to analyze the state of the curve during the strain hardening and softening stages.
[0034] In one embodiment, the step of identifying the morphological features of the curve in S3 includes: Analyze the characteristics of the curve in segments A, B, and C, among which, Section A exhibits a peak-drop pattern, with the curve showing a monotonically increasing trend to a single peak value followed by a monotonically decreasing trend. Furthermore, the absolute values of its first derivative in the increasing and decreasing segments are greater than or equal to a preset threshold, which is used to characterize the abrupt transition of the friction state between soil particles from static friction to dynamic friction. Section B is a horizontal platform shape, the curve shows the characteristics of a platform, and the absolute value of its first derivative remains within a preset threshold range, which is used to characterize the relatively stable stage of energy absorption rate. The C segment exhibits a slow decay pattern, with the curve showing a monotonically decreasing trend. Furthermore, the absolute value of its first derivative in the decreasing segment is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, which is used to characterize the gradual weakening of the energy compensation effect.
[0035] It should be noted that soil stability is assessed based on characteristic morphology: when the curve shows... When the curve shows the characteristics of a platform, it is determined that the soil is in a quasi-equilibrium state with stable energy dissipation; when the curve shows a gradual descent, it is determined that the soil stability is decreasing and is transitioning to a positive residual state.
[0036] In one embodiment, S4 is based on the Cambridge model, the Rowe dilatation model, and state-dependent dilatation theory:
[0037]
[0038]
[0039]
[0040] in, The unloading coefficient (the unloading curve at) v‐p′ (slope on the plane) Porosity This represents the stress ratio under critical conditions. For dilatation parameters ( , (Critical void ratio). The elastic component of shear strain is not considered. Then, substitute equations (2), (3), (4), and (5) into equation (1) to establish the rate of energy change. With dilatation parameters The analytical relationship between them is used to explain the evolution mechanism of the energy curve:

[0045] It should be noted that the function of equation (7) is to transform the stable phenomenon of the energy absorption rate plateau discovered in this invention into a highly simplified explicit constitutive relation. This relation can be directly used in geotechnical engineering numerical analysis software as a core module for calculating stress response, or as a practical formula for rapid mechanical evaluation, thereby achieving the fundamental purpose of simplifying the model, improving computational efficiency, and serving engineering practice.
[0046] In one embodiment, the explicit constitutive relation model is used to calibrate the dilatation parameters in the soil constitutive model, or as a stress-strain relation module in the soil constitutive model, and can be directly used for geotechnical numerical calculations or stability assessments.
[0047] In one embodiment, S5, the dynamic energy compensation result between the decrease in deviatoric stress and the work done by shear dilatation in the strain softening stage of the soil is as follows: it is determined that in the strain softening stage, there is a dynamic compensation relationship between the reduction in shear energy consumption caused by the decrease in deviatoric stress and the increase in work done by volume expansion caused by shear dilatation, which makes the rate of change of total energy tend to stabilize.
