Relationship between element-level and contact-level parameters of micromechanical and upscaled plasticity models for granular soils
The models for stress–strain behavior of granular soils can be generally categorized into two approaches: the conventional plasticity approach and the micromechanics-based approach. In this work, we upscale a micromechanical model to a commonly used isotropic hardening plasticity model by assuming the “same” constitutive laws at different scales. The mathematically derived relationships between element-level and contact-level parameters are presented based on the condition that the two models would predict the same mechanical response, and a parameter calibration procedure is proposed. A comparative study is then conducted to investigate the differences of the predicted element behaviors arisen from the two models.
