Yade is an extensible open-source framework for discrete numerical models, focused on the
Discrete Element Method. The computation parts are written in c++ using a flexible object …

In this paper, we shall present a new micromechanical damage model for capturing the
mechanical behaviors of quasi-brittle geomaterials under a wide range of compressive …

An elastoplastic theory for saturated freezing soils is presented on the basis of
thermoporomechanics. A saturated freezing soil considered as an open system and both …

A continuum damage mechanics (CDM) based constitutive model has been developed to
describe elastic, plastic and damage behavior of porous rocks. The pressure sensitive …

A general thermodynamic-based framework for deriving coupled temperature-dependent
viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, viscodamage, and micro-damage healing constitutive models …

This paper investigates the definition of the stress tensor within a granular assembly, when
inertial effects are likely to occur. It is shown that the stress tensor can be expressed as a …

Establishing quantifiable links between individual-particle dynamics and macroscopic
response of granular materials has been a longstanding challenge, with implications in …

A new constitutive model is developed in this paper for clay-rich rocks. This model describes
elastic, instantaneous and time-dependent plastic deformations, and induced damage. The …

To study the mechanical properties of frozen saline soil under cyclic loading, the cyclic tri-
axial compressive experiments of 36 samples are performed for frozen saline silty clay with …

Internal erosion by suffusion can change dramatically the constitutive behavior of granular
materials by modifying the fabric of granular materials. In this study, the effect of an internal …
