Cyclic loading affects the long-term response of geostructures build on natural soils. Soft soils are particularly susceptible to development large deformations, induced by repetitive nature loading. A new viscoplastic cyclic accumulation model is presented, which an hierarchical extension Creep-SClay1S model, permanent deformation resulting from undrained soft clays. The cumulative strains inc...

A method using experimental nanoindentation and inverse finite-element analysis (FEA) has been developed that enables the spatial variation of material constitutive properties to be accurately determined. The method was used to measure property variation in a three-dimensional printed (3DP) polymeric material. The accuracy of the method is dependent on the applicability of the constitutive mode...
