Gradient-dependent plasticity where a characteristic length is involved to consider the microstructural effect (interactions and interplaying among microstructures due to the heterogeneous texture) and the measured nonlinear shear stress-shear strain curves for different loading strain rates are used to calculate the distribution of local temperature rise in adiabatic shear band (ASB) for aluminum-lithium alloy specimen of thin-walled tube in dynamic torsion test. ASB is assumed to initiate just at peak shear stress in the specimen. The temperature rise in ASB is decomposed into the uniform temperature rise in strain-hardening stage and the nonuniform temperature rise in strain-softening stage. The former depends on the measured nonlinear shear stress-shear strain curve prior to the peak, the density, the work to heat conversion factor and the heat capacity. The latter is related to the softening branch of the measured nonlinear shear stress-shear strain curve, the internal length parameter and the physical parameters. For binary Al-Li alloy, the predicted maximum temperatures in ASB are 413K at strain rate of 2000s-1 and 433K at strain rate of 2600s-1. These peak temperatures are lower than the recrystallization and phase transformation temperatures. Higher loading strain rate results in higher pre-peak and post-peak temperature rises, steeper profile of local temperature and higher peak local temperature in ASB. These predictions qualitatively agree with the previously analytical solution for ductile metal exhibiting linear strain-softening behavior beyond the peak shear stress based on gradient-dependent plasticity.

Simplified procedures for evaluating liquefaction triggering potential use the nonlinear shear stress reduction factor, rd, to estimate the peak earthquake-induced cyclic shear stress within the soil strata. Previous studies have derived rd by considering the response of representative ground profiles subjected to input ground motions with a range of ground motion characteristics. In this study, site–specific rd for serviceability limit state (SLS) and ultimate limit state (ULS) design ground motions are developed using site response models of the Christchurch Central Business District (CBD). The site response models are generated for typical geologic conditions of Christchurch CBD with shear wave velocity, Vs, profiles developed from the results of multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) surveys conducted across Christchurch CBD. A total of 528 simulations were conducted using 1D nonlinear time domain site response analyses using a suite of input ground motions that are representative of controlling ground motion scenarios for seismic hazard of Christchurch. The results of the ground response analyses are used to determine Christchurch CBD-specific rd relationships for liquefaction triggering assessments. The proposed relationships provide a better estimate of the cyclic stress ratios induced below Christchurch CBD when subjected to design SLS and ULS ground motions as compared to typical practice using generic liquefaction assessment methodologies.
