It has been unanimously acknowledged that the strength and deformation characteristics of bounded geomaterials, viz. cemented soils and natural rocks, are predominantly governed by the rate of loading/deformation. Rational evaluation of these time-dependent characteristics due to viscosity and ageing are vital for the reliable constitutive modelling. In order to study the effects of ageing and loading/strain rate (viscosity) on the behaviour of bounded geomaterials, a number of unconfined monotonic loading tests were performed on Gypsum Mixed Sand (GMS) specimens at a wide range of axial strain rates; ranging from 1.9E-05 to 5.3E+00 %/min (27,000 folds), and at different curing periods. The results indicate shifts in the viscous behaviour of GMS at critical strain rates of 2.0E-03 and 5.0E-01 %/min. In the light of this finding, the results are categorized into three discrete zones of strain rates, and the behaviour of GMS in each of these zones is discussed. A significant dependency of peak strength and stress-strain responses on strain rate was witnessed for specimens subjected to strain rates lesser than 2.0E-03 %/min, and the effects of viscosity/strain rate was found to be insignificant at strain rate higher than 5.0E-01%/min.

A semi-empirical engineering constitutive law modelling in a unified and continuous manner the main characteristic features of time-dependent materials, including creep, strain softening, relaxation and recovery and tensile brittleness, is briefly reviewed. The model, which contains 13 parameters, is a hereditary single Volterra-type integral representation of material response with stress/strain nonlinearity assumed in the form of a power law, the strain tensor dependent on the entire stress history and the stress-anisotropy/brittleness feature handled by means of a tensile-stress dependent damage function. The capability/versatility of the model is illustrated by examples for several materials.

This paper summarizes recent joint work towards a constitutive modelling framework for dense granular suspensions. The aim is to create a time-dependent, tensorial theory that can implement the physics described in steady state by the Wyart-Cates model. This model of shear thickening suspensions supposes that lubrication films break above a characteristic normal force so that frictional contact forces come into play: the resulting non-sliding constraints can be enough to rigidify a system that would flow freely at lower stresses [1]. Implementing this idea for time-dependent flows requires the introduction of new concepts including a configuration-dependent ‘jamming coordinate’, alongside a decomposition of the velocity gradient tensor into compressive and extensional components which then enter the evolution equation for particle contacts in distinct ways. The resulting approach [2, 3] is qualitatively successful in addressing (i) the collapse of stress during flow reversal in shear flow, and (ii) the ability of transverse oscillatory flows to unjam the system. However there is much work required to refine this approach towards quantitative accuracy, by incorporating more of the physics of contact evolution under flow as determined by close interrogation of particle-based simulations.
