Summary
A thoroughly non-linear constitutive equation connecting stress-rates and strain-rates is shown to yield realistic predictions for the conditions at which bifurcation may appear in the course of axisymmetric and plane homogeneous deformations of sand samples. The features of the non-homogeneous deformation after the bifurcation are also realistically predicted, a fact which is of importance in understanding and describing rupture phenomena (formation of shear bands) in geomechanics.
Übersicht
In dieser Arbeit wird gezeigt, daß eine nichtlineare Beziehung zwischen der Spannungsrate und der Deformationsgeschwindigkeit realistische Voraussagen für Verzweigungen liefert, die sich im Verlauf von achsensymmetrischer und ebener Verformung von Sandproben einstellen können. Die Geometrie der inhomogenen Verformung, die sich nach der Verzweigung einstellt, kann ebenfalls realistisch vorausgesagt werden. Diese Tatsache ist von Bedeutung für das Verständnis und die Beschreibung von Brucherscheinungen (Bildung von Scherfugen u. ä.) in der Geomechanik.
