Abstract
An anisotropic hardening model for soils is proposed by applying the concept of a field of hardening moduli developed previously for metals. Besides the yield surface, a set of nesting surfaces in the stress-space specifies the variation of hardening moduli during the deformation process. Both drained and undrained soil behaviour can be treated and distortional as well as volumetric strain cycles can be considered. The model can be applied in studying soil behaviour under cyclic loading and in particular to describe densification or liquefaction phenomena.

Non-Associated Plasticity for Soils, Concrete and Rock

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider three types of models of increasing complexity: the first model is a perfectly-plastic model, which employs Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio for describing the elastic properties; and a cohesion and a friction angle for the determination of the strength.

Generalized plasticity and the modelling of soil behaviour

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors outline the theory of generalized plasticity in which yield and plastic potential surfaces need not be explicitly defined, and show how a very effective general model describing the behaviour of sands and of clays under monotonic or transient loading can be developed.

On the description of anisotropic workhardening

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of workhardening is proposed which generalizes the known rules of isotropic and kinematic work-hardening by introducing the concept of a "Field of Workhardening moduli".

Associated and non-associated visco-plasticity and plasticity in soil mechanics

TL;DR: The visco-plastic model is established as a realistic general description of soil behaviour as well as a computationally convenient fiction for solving any properly formulated plasticity problem as discussed by the authors.

A model of nonlinearly hardening materials for complex loading

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduced the concept of a bounding surface in the stress space which always encloses the loading surface, and a parameter defined by the relative position of the loading and the bounding surfaces, and the plastic work done during the most recent loading, determine the value of the plastic modulus.
