Abstract We present a constitutive model for particle-binder composites that accounts for finite-deformation kinematics, nonlinear elasto-plasticity without apparent yield, cyclic hysteresis, and progressive stress-softening before the attainment of stable cyclic response. The model is based on deformation mechanisms experimentally observed during quasi-static monotonic and cyclic compression of mock Plastic-Bonded Explosives (PBX) at large strain. An additive decomposition of strain energy into elastic and inelastic parts is assumed, where the elastic response is modeled using Ogden hyperelasticity while the inelastic response is described using yield-surface-free endochronic plasticity based on the concepts of internal variables and of evolution or rate equations. Stress-softening is modeled using two approaches; a discontinuous isotropic damage model to appropriately describe the softening in the overall loading-unloading response, and a material scale function to describe the progressive cyclic softening until cyclic stabilization. A nonlinear multivariate optimization procedure is developed to estimate the elasto-plastic model parameters from nominal stress-strain experimental compression data. Finally, a correlation between model parameters and the unique stress-strain response of mock PBX specimens with differing concentrations of aluminum is identified, thus establishing a relationship between model parameters and material composition.

Cet article présente les différentes étapes des développements réalisés au CNRM des années 1990 à nos jours pour spatialiser à diverses échelles les simulations du modèle Isba des surfaces terrestres. Une attention particulière est portée sur l'intégration, dans le modèle, de données satellitaires permettant de caractériser la végétation. Deux façons complémentaires d'introduire de l'information géographique dans Isba sont présentées : cartographie de paramètres statiques et intégration au fil de l'eau dans le modèle de variables observables depuis l'espace. This paper presents successive steps in developments made at CNRM from the 1990s to the present-day in order to spatialize the simulations of the Isba land surface model at various scales. The focus is on the integration in the model of satellite data informative about vegetation. Two complementary ways to integrate geographic information in Isba are presented: mapping of static model parameters and sequential assimilation of variables observable from space.

Tension And Compression

This study develops a general temperature-dependent stress–strain constitutive model for polymer-bonded composite materials, allowing for the prediction of deformation behaviors under tension and compression in the testing temperature range. Laboratory testing of the material specimens in uniaxial tension and compression at multiple temperatures ranging from −40 ∘C to 75 ∘C is performed. The testing data reveal that the stress–strain response can be divided into two general regimes, namely, a short elastic part followed by the plastic part; therefore, the Ramberg–Osgood relationship is proposed to build the stress–strain constitutive model at a single temperature. By correlating the model parameters with the corresponding temperature using a response surface, a general temperature-dependent stress–strain constitutive model is established. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed model are validated using several independent sets of testing data and third-party data. The performance of the proposed model is compared with an existing reference model. The validation and comparison results show that the proposed model has a lower number of parameters and yields smaller relative errors. The proposed constitutive model is further implemented as a user material routine in a finite element package. A simple structural example using the developed user material is presented and its accuracy is verified.

Natural Loess

In response to the major challenges faced by China’s transition to green low-carbon energy under the dual-carbon goal, the use of energy Internet cross-boundary thinking will help to develop research on the integration of renewable clean energy and buildings. Energy piles are a new building-energy-saving technology that uses geothermal energy in the shallow soil of the Earth’s surface as a source of cold (heat) to achieve heating in winter and cooling in summer. It is a complex thermomechanical working process that changes the temperature of the rock and soil around the pile, and the temperature change significantly influences the mechanical properties of natural loess. Although the soil temperature can be easily and quickly obtained by using sensors connected to the Internet of Things, the mechanical properties of natural loess will change greatly under the influence of temperature. To explore the influence of temperature on the stress–strain relationship of structural loess, the undrained triaxial consolidation tests were carried out under different temperatures (5, 20, 50 and 70∘C) and different confining pressures (50, 100, 200 and 400[Formula: see text]kPa), and a binary-medium model was introduced to simulate the stress–strain relationship. By introducing the damage rate under temperature change conditions, a binary-medium model of structural loess under variable temperature conditions was established, and the calculation method of the model parameters was proposed. Finally, the calculated results were compared with the test results. The calculation results showed that the established model has good applicability.

Calibration Approach

Abstract Land surface models are notorious for containing many parameters that control the exchange of heat and moisture between land and atmosphere. Properly modeling the partitioning of total evapotranspiration (ET) between transpiration and evaporation is critical for accurate hydrological modeling, but depends heavily on the treatment of turbulence within and above canopies. Previous work has constrained estimates of evapotranspiration and its partitioning using statistical approaches that calibrate land surface model parameters by assimilating in situ measurements. These studies, however, are silent on the impacts of the accounting of uncertainty within the statistical calibration framework. The present study calibrates the aerodynamic, leaf boundary layer, and stomatal resistance parameters, which partially control canopy turbulent exchange and thus the evapotranspiration flux partitioning. Using an adaptive Metropolis–Hastings algorithm to construct a Markov chain of draws from the joint posterior distribution of these resistance parameters, an ensemble of model realizations is generated, in which latent and sensible heat fluxes and top soil layer temperature are optimized. A set of five calibration experiments demonstrate that model performance is sensitive to the accounting of various sources of uncertainty in the field observations and model output and that it is critical to account for model structural uncertainty. After calibration, the modeled fluxes and top soil layer temperature are largely free from bias, and this calibration approach successfully informs and characterizes uncertainty in these parameters, which is essential for model improvement and development. The key points of this paper are 1) a Markov chain Monte Carlo calibration approach successfully improves modeled turbulent fluxes; 2) ET partitioning estimates hinge on the representation of uncertainties in the model and data; and 3) despite these inherent uncertainties, constrained posterior estimates of ET partitioning emerge.

Abstract: The stress and deformation of rock-fill dam with asphalt concrete core wall founded on deep overburden is calculated and analyzed by Duncan E-ν model and double-yield-surface model through three-dimensional finite element method. The stress and deformation of dams in water storage period is compared by the two models, the results show that the deformation distribution of dam core via two different models are coincide one another. The horizontal displacement and vertical displacement of rock-fill dam with asphalt concrete core wall by double-yield-surface model is smaller than which by Duncan E-ν model in the period of water storage. Furthermore, the horizontal displacement and vertical displacement by double-yield-surface model, which are close to the practical test data through the deformation via two models are in good agreement. The analysis of core-wall stress via double-yield-surface model is more reasonable than the Duncan E-ν model. The analysis result of resisting hydraulic fracturing of core dams by DuncanE-ν model is coincide which of core dams by double-yield-surface model.
