Abstract

Different realizations of the modified Cam-Clay (MCC) models are reviewed. Several extensions of the MCC model are discussed, including models with kinematic hardening and bounding surface, the general plasticity model, extension of the MCC model to include finite strain, and different variants of the pressure hardening rules, including bi-modulus extension, hypoplastic, and the hyperelastic potential extensions. The associated flow rules coupled with different hardening equations are considered. The main attention is paid to the case of the infinitesimal strains. Numerical examples of kinematic deviatoric loadings for the considered model with linear elastic initial response are presented and analyzed.
