A hybrid discrete-continuum approach to model hydro-mechanical behaviour of soil during desiccation
Khoa M. Tran, Ha H. Bui, Giang D. Nguyen
Desiccation cracking in clayey soils occurs when they lose moisture, leading to an increase in their compressibility and hydraulic conductivity and hence significant reduction of s…
Ligand mediated adhesive mechanics of two deformed spheres
Sarthok Sircar, Andrei Kotousov, Giang Nguyen +1
A self-consistent model is developed to investigate attachment / detachment kinetics of two soft, deformable microspheres with irregular surface and coated with flexible binding li…
Modelling Localisation and Spatial Scaling of Constitutive Behaviour: a Kinematically Enriched Continuum Approach
Giang Dinh Nguyen, Chi Thanh Nguyen, Vinh Phu Nguyen
It is well known that classical constitutive models fail to capture the post-peak material behaviour, due to localisation of deformation. In such cases the concept of Representativ…
A Conceptual Approach to Two-Scale Constitutive Modelling For Hydro-Mechanical Coupling
Giang D. Nguyen, Abbas El-Zein, Terry Bennett
Large scale modelling of fluid flow coupled with solid failure in geothermal reservoirs or hydrocarbon extraction from reservoir rocks usually involves behaviours at two scales: lo…
An Enriched Constitutive Model for Fracture Propagation Analysis using the Material Point Method
Giang Dinh Nguyen
We develop a novel constitutive modeling approach for the analysis of fracture propagation in quasi-brittle materials using the Material Point Method. The kinematics of constitutiv…
A multiphase constitutive modeling framework for unsaturated soil behavior
Giang D. Nguyen, Yixiang Gan
We develop a framework for constitutive modeling of unsaturated soils that has the embedded elements of lower scale grain to grain contacts. Continuum models developed from this fr…
