PREFACE
These notes present descriptions of static and dynamic finite element method, nonlinear
techniques used, various constitutive models (elastic, plastic, creep, thermal, and disturbance-
softening , procedures for determination of parameters for the constitutive models, parameters
for typical materials and interfaces, and program features for the DSC-SST2D code.
The DSC-SST2D based on the finite element method with the DSC model is considered
to be a general purpose finite element code for analysis of a wide range of problems involving
solids and interfaces or joints, subjected to thermomechanical static, cyclic (repetitive) and
dynamic loadings. The code permits a range of constitutive models for elastic, plastic, and creep
responses, microcracking leading to fracture, and fatigue and softening. As a result, the code can
be used for solutions in civil and geotechnical, mechanical and aerospace engineering,
engineering mechanics, and electronic packaging systems.
Although these notes mainly cover static problems, other codes are available for dynamic
two-dimensional analysis (DSC-DYN2D) and for dynamic three-dimensional analysis (DSC-
SST3D). Their brief descriptions are given below:

INTRODUCTION, FINITE ELEMENT METHOD,
CONSTITUTIVE MODELS, CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCES
INTRODUCTION
Nonlinear behavior of materials involving solids and interfaces can arise due to material
or geometric nonlinearity, or both. Material nonlinearity under mechanical, thermal and other
environmental loadings, can be due to several factors such as initial state of stress, stress path
dependent response, elastic, plastic and creep strains, change in the physical state defined by
change in the density, void ratio or water content, plastic yielding or hardening, microcracking
and damage leading to softening behavior.
Problems in solid and geomechanics can involve both types of nonlinearities. However,
in the current computer procedures, only material nonlinearity is considered with two-
dimensional (2-D) (plane stress, plane strain and axisymmetric ) and three-dimensional (3-D)
idealizations. The procedures and codes can be used for stress-deformation analysis of a wide
range of problems in solid, structural, geotechnical, and mechanical engineering and electronic
packaging involving “solid” materials, interfaces and joints. The loading can be static, cyclic and
repetitive and dynamic, and the material response can include elastic, plastic and creep
deformations, microcracking and damage leading to softening or degradation, fatigue failure, and
in microstructural instabilities like liquefaction. Typical examples are also presented. Part III of
the manual covers range of applications.
Realistic solution procedures for engineering problems require appropriate provision for
initial conditions, non-homogeneities and interaction effects. Conventional methods based on
classical theories of elasticity and plasticity may not be capable to handle the above factors.
7
Hence, the approach should be to adopt improved but simplified models that are capable to allow
for factors important for a given application. Very often it becomes necessary to resort to
numerical techniques so as to allow for these factors; the finite element method (FEM) is one of
the most powerful methods to solve engineering problems, and is used herein. The FEM code
involves the unified and general approach called the disturbed state concept (DSC), which allows
for hierarchical adoption of a wide range of constitutive models: elastic, elasto-plastic,
continuous yielding, elastoviscoplastic, and disturbance (damage), depending upon the need of
the user for specific application.
FINITE ELEMENT METHOD
In this part of the report, two-dimensional static idealization is considered. Two- and
three-dimensional static and dynamic analyses are covered in other manuals.
The finite element method has been discussed in detail in books such as Desai and Abel
(1972) and Desai (1979). The method presented here is based on the displacement approach for
2-D problems, which has been adopted in the computer code. For two-dimensional typical
element (Fig. 1), the displacement components at any point are written as
q N = u (1)
where {u}T = [u v] is the vector of displacement components u and v at a point in the x- and y-
directions, respectively, [N} is the matrix of interpolation functions, {q}T = [u1 v1 u2 v2 … un vn]
is the nodal displacement vector , and n denotes the number of nodes.
The strain-displacement and stress-strain relations are given respectively by
q B = (2)
and
8
C = (3)
where {} and {} are strain and stress vectors, respectively, [B] is the strain-displacement
transformation matrix, and [C] is the constitutive matrix.
By using the principle of minimum potential energy, the element equilibrium equations
are derived and then expressed in the incremental form as
Q = q k t (4)
where [k1] is the tangent element stiffness matrix, {Q} is the element nodal load vector, {Qr} is
the vector of unbalanced or correction loads, and denotes increment. The terms in Eq. (4) can
be expressed as
V d B C B = k t

Sd T N + V d X N = Q T

and

r (7)
in which X is the body force vector, T is the surface traction vector, r is the unbalanced
or correction stress vector, V is the volume of the element, and S1 is the portion of surface on
which surface loads are prescribed. Equations (5) and (6) are usually integrated numerically by
using Gauss quadrature methods.
Computational Algorithm
A nonlinear problem is analyzed as a series of “piecewise” problems by using
incremental techniques in which the tangent constitutive matrix {C1] is updated at each load

increment, Fig. 2. A mixed procedure (Figure 2) which combines both incremental and iterative
techniques has been adopted together with improved drift correction procedure(s). In this
procedure, after applying each load increment, iterations are performed until convergence is
reached. The convergence criterion employed is based on the ratio of the norm of unbalanced
load and sum of the norm of total load and norm of equilibrating load; details are given
elsewhere (Desai, et al., 1991).
Element Library
The computer program has the provision for the following types of elements:
(i) Solid elements
(ii) Interface/joint, and
(iii) Bar elements.
(i) Solid Elements
Either 4-noded or 8-noded isoparametric finite elements as shown in Fig. 1, or infinite
elements (not operational at this time) (Damajanic and Owen, 1984) as shown in Fig. 3, can be
used. Equations (5) to (7) are used to compute element stiffness matrix and nodal load vector,
respectively. The Gauss quadrature process allows 2 or 3 point integration rules, i.e., total 4 or 9
integration points.
(ii) Joint/Interface Elements
These elements are represented by a thin layer solid element (Desai, et al., 1984; Sharma
and Desai, 1992), or zero thickness Goodman element (Goodman, et al., 1968). They can be
either 4-noded or 6-noded elements (Fig. 4) corresponding to 4-noded or 8-noded solid elements.
The shear and normal responses found from special laboratory tests are used to define the
element stiffness matrix. The constitutive laws, discussed later, are written in terms of shear

stress, , and normal stress, n. For the thin-layer solid element, the parametric study shows that
the ratio of thickness of interface element to its width of the order of about 0.01 yield satisfactory
simulation of the interface response simulated by using the thin-layer element with finite
thickness.
(iii) Bar Elements
Two types of bar elements, 2-noded linear, and 3-noded quadrilateral elements (Fig. 5),
have been used and provide compatibility with solid and joint elements. The element stiffness
matrix and computation of axial stress are given by Desai (1979) and Lightner and Desai (1979).
CONSTITUTIVE MODELS
A number of material models have been implemented in this program. They are:
(i) Linear elastic,
(ii) Nonlinear elastic (variable moduli or hyperbolic simulation),
(iii) Elasto-plastic conventional (von Mises, Drucker-Prager, Mohr-Coulomb, and Hoek-
Brown),
(iv) Elasto-plastic continuous yielding or hardening (critical state, cap),
(v) Hierarchical Single Surface (HISS) continuous yielding (0 and 1)
(vi) Viscoelastic plastic, and
(vii) Disturbed State Concept (DSC) models; details of this general and unified approach,
from which almost all of the above models can be derived as special cases, are given
later.
16
Each of these categories may be used for solid, structural and geologic materials and
interfaces/joints, depending upon the material behavior and user’s judgment. However, the most
realistic models are considered to be those based on plasticity or viscoplasticity, in particular the
HISS models, as they include other plasticity models as special cases, and provide a number of
advantages and simplifications (Desai, et al., 1986 and Desai, 2001). The disturbed state concept
(DSC) allows for the above models as special cases, and includes microcracking, damage and
degradation or softening and stiffening or healing (Desai, 1994, 1995, 2001; Desai and Toth,
1996); stiffening is not included in this code.
Descriptions of the above models are given in Appendices I and IV.
Nonlinear Analysis
A nonlinear problem is solved by using incremental-iterative procedures with required
iterative (drift) correction and convergence schemes. The basic incremental stress-strain
equations are given by
d C = d t (8)
where {d and {d} = incremental stress and strain vectors, respectively, and [C1] is the tangent
constitutive matrix. In the case of piecewise linear approximation to nonlinear elastic behavior,
[C1] = eC1 will be composed of Et and t for solids, or knt and kst for interfaces and joints. For
elasto-plastic behavior
C C = C pt
ett (9)
where pC1 = tangent plasticity matrix (Appendix II).
The elastoplastic response forms a part of the creep or elastoviscoplastic and disturbance
(microcracking and softening) models in the DSC. Details of the models, elastoplastic, creep and
disturbance, and associated equations are given in Appendix I, together with the incorporation of
17
thermal and cyclic hardening effects. In all cases, a drift correction procedure is used with
respect to the drift of the yield surface during incremental loading. A brief description of the drift
correction procedure is given below.
Drift Correction: During each increment of loading, the stress must lie on or within the yield
surface (assuming unloading is elastic). If the increments are not very small, the stress state at the
end of an increment may not lie on the relevant yield surface leading to the problem of the drift
of the currently computed stress as shown in Figure 6. The initial stress state {A} at point A lies
on the previous yield surface, F ({A}, A) = 0, where is the hardening parameter (Appendix
I). During the next increment, yielding occurs and the state of stress moves to point B. The new
yield surface is given by F ({B}, B) = 0. Owing to the tendency to drift, the stress state
represented by point B does not necessarily lie on this new yield surface, Figure 6. This
discrepancy can be cumulative and, therefore, it is important to ensure that the stresses and the
hardening parameter, , are modified so as to lie on the yield surface.
Potts and Gens (1985) examined five different methods for drift correction. They
considered subincrements of strains for each increment, and concluded that the method which
considered hardening during drift correction gave improved results. This scheme is modified and
is described in Appendix III; it is incorporated in the program. Also incorporated is a modified
version of the scheme proposed by Ortiz and Simo (1986). Details of the modified schemes are
given by Desai and Wathugala (1987), Wathugala and Desai (1993).
Continuous Hardening and HISS Models
The classical plasticity models such as von Mises, Mohr-Coulomb and Drucker-Prager do
not allow adequately for the volumetric response, and for the existence of yielding before the
19
ultimate (failure) surface is reached. Hence, their use is often limited for evaluation of failure or
ultimate loads.
In the critical state and cap models, the continuous hardening or yielding parameter is
dependent only on the volumetric plastic strain, p
v . However, in the hierarchical single surface
(HISS) models, hardening is dependent on both volumetric and deviatoric plastic strain
trajectories, v and D, respectively. These models, including the viscoplastic and general
Disturbed State Concept (DSC), are described in Appendix I.
The critical state and cap models allow for yielding before failure, but do not allow for
(a) hardening due to plastic shear strains,
(b) possibility of dilation before peak stress,
(c) different strengths under different stress paths (e.g., compression and extension),
(d) nonassociative behavior for frictional materials, and
(e) involve multiple (two) yield surfaces, which can cause computational difficulties.
The HISS models that involve single continuous yield surface, removes the above
limitations, are considered to be general and more powerful. A perspective and comparison of
the HISS model with such other models as critical state, cap and Lade are given by Desai, et al.,
(1986), Desai and Hashmi (1989), Desai (1992), Desai (1994), Desai (2001).
PROGRAM (DSC-SST2D) FEATURES
The computer program has the following capabilities:
(i) Applied Forces
The program allows for three types of loads, as static, repetitive and dynamic:
a) Extenal loads – point loads and surface loads,
b) Prescribed displacements, and
20
c) Prescribed temperature.
External Loads: Point loads, constant or time dependent, are prescribed at nodes,
whereas the surface loads (constant or time dependent) in the form of distributed traction or
pressure acting on the element sides, are converted to the equivalent nodal loads in the program.
Thermal Loads: Temperature increments or time-dependent temperature is applied at
nodes.
For a linear elastic analysis, total load or temperature may be applied in a single
increment, but in the case of nonlinear analysis, the total load or temperature is applied in several
increments.
Displacements: The program has an option of prescribed displacements, at nodes.
Total displacements at the nodes may be applied in a single increment for linear elastic
analysis, whereas in the case of nonlinear analysis, they are applied in several increments.
(ii) Initial or in situ Stresses
A number of options are available for computing the in situ stresses (see Part II: User’s
Guide). For example,
a) Prescribed in situ stress: The in situ stress is calculated using the expressions
(Chowdhury, 1978)
so c n i y s K =
K =
n i sK + 1 y =
oy x
yox
2oy
(10)
21
where x, y, and xy are in situ horizontal, vertical, and shear stresses, respectively, is the unit
weight of soil, Ko is the in situ ratio (x/y), y is the depth to the point of stress, and is the
slope of the side of the structure or ground surface (Figure 7).
b) Computed in situ Stresses: A finite element analysis of a soil mass is carried out for
body forces only, assuming linear elastic behavior. The computed vertical stress y is kept the
same, and the horizontal stress x and shear stress xy are computed as
n i sK + 1
so c n i s =
K =
2o
xy x
yox
(11)
For horizontal surface, xy = 0.
Simulation of Sequences
(iii) Addition of Material, or Placement Embankment
Simulation of addition of materials, which is called embankment, or placement in the
sequential construction procedure is shown in Figure 8. For each layer (lift) of embankment
placed, the equivalent nodal forces due to gravity are computed. The Young’s modulus, E, of the
material in the added lift is set to a very small value (about one percent of initial E), which
simulates a very “weak” material. The incremental displacements and stresses are computed
during each lift cycle and are added to those from the previous cycle; iterations are performed (if
necessary) to obtain the equilibrium for each lift. The displacements of the new surface of the
embankment are set to zero. The horizontal stress in the newly placed lift is calculated as the
vertical stress times the in situ stress ratio, Ko.
Note that in the program, the sign of the element material numbers in a newly placed lift
are set to negative, which assigns small value of Young’s modulus to those elements. At the end

of computations for the lift when equilibrium is reached, the sign of the element material
numbers is changed back to positive.
(iv) Removal of Material or Excavation
Figure 9 shows schematic of the simulation of excavation process, which is similar to
cut-outs in plates, and involves removal of material(s). The elements to be excavated (removed)
for each lift are deleted from the system and iterations are performed (if necessary) until
equilibrium is obtained. This will result in a “stress free” excavated surface.
The two key features of the program are:
a) Excavated elements are deleted from the initial and changing mesh.
b) Stress-free surface is established by applying equal and opposite forces on the
excavated surface and by satisfying the equilibrium equation, Eq. (4).
The above process was proposed by Goodman and Brown (1963) and Brown and King (1966).
(v) Removal of Liquid (Water) or Dewatering, Fig. 10
Dewatering causes compression or consolidation and can be modeled by using the
coupled-consolidation theory. However, in order to provide a simpler and economical
formulation, dewatering is approximated in the program by assuming uncoupled and
instantaneous response. The main effect accounted for is the increase in effective stress due to
change in the unit weight of the soil in the dewatered elements. This increase is equal to the body
force due to the weight of water within each of the elements which is dewatered. The equivalent
nodal forces are given by:
V d N = F T
W
V
(12)
where {F} is the element nodal force vector and w is the unit weight of water.

Note that Eq. (12) applies only to elements which were submerged earlier and are now above the
water-table due to the dewatering. Figure 10 shows the dewatering in which only elements 1, 2
and 3 have body force loads due to dewatering, and the remaining elements are affected
indirectly by the loading from these three elements.
(vi) Support Systems
Structural Supports or Tie-Backs: Installation of support system such as tie-backs, Fig.
11, can be considered similar to the prestressing of concrete beams, and introduces compressive
stresses to counteract extension and tensile stresses. The installation of tie-backs involves four
simulation steps: drilling/boring a hole (at an angle to the horizontal), placing the tie-back,
grouting the tie-back, and then tensioning the tie-back to provide the design compressive stress.
A tie-back usually consists of either steel cables or steel reinforcing rods or other
structural supports. In the case of geotechnical systems, only the last portion of the tie-back is
grouted to form an anchor, and the rest of it is usually encased in a sheath to prevent transfer of
load to the excavated face.
In the simulation of the tie-backs installation in the FEM procedure, the first two steps are
not considered, and the procedure followed is
1. Apply a force along the direction of the tie-back equal and opposite to the tension
force in the tie-back.
2. Solve for new displacements and stresses.
3. Add the bar elements which simulate the tie-backs.
4. Set the bar elements stresses to the initial tension in the tie-back.
The order of these steps may not follow the actual construction procedure. In the
construction procedure, the bar is placed first before the tensioning force is applied. If this is
28
followed in the numerical procedure, bar elements will resist the tensioning forces, which is not
correct. The wrong and correct sequences are illustrated in Fig. 11.
(vii) Mesh Change Option
During any increment of the loading, the mesh can be changed, i.e., some elements can
be added or deleted, or some nodes added or deleted and/or material number of elements is
changed. This option is used to simulate embankment construction and excavation. The material
number may be changed in the case of dewatering.
(viii) Boundary Conditions
The prescribed boundary conditions (e.g., fixity) are imposed in such a manner as to
minimize the number of equations to be solved. This is achieved by not formulating equations
corresponding to degrees-of-freedom at nodal points where displacements are zero, because of
the boundary conditions.
DYNAMIC ANALYSIS
The finite element equations for dynamic analysis are given by
t Q = q K + q C + q M (13)
Where [M], [C ] and [K] are the mass, damping and stiffnesses matrices, respectively, {q} is the
vector of nodal displacements, {Q(t)} is the vector of time dependent nodal forces and the
overdot denotes time derivative.
The mass matrix can be consistent when it is evaluated from the expression resulting
from energy considerations, while it is evaluated as lumped when the mass is lumped at nodes
and appears only on the diagonals of the matrix (Desai and Abel, 1972).
Details of the frequency and time domain solutions for the dynamic equations are given
in Desai and Abel (1972) or in other texts on the finite element method. For the time domain

analysis, Equations 13 are integrated in the time domain, particularly for nonlinear analysis, by
using various time integration schemes such as Euler, Newmark Method, and Wilson’s -
Method. In the present code, Newmark and Wilson’s -methods are used. At time tn+1 = tn + t,
where t is the time step and tn is the previous time level at which quantities are known, Eq. (13),

It is often difficult to define the damping matrix [C]. Hence, approximate procedures are
sometimes employed; in one such method, the damping matrix is expressed as (Clough and
Penzien, 1993):
M + K = C Mk (17)
where k and M are constants adopted by the user.
In the case of cyclic material behavior, the hysteretic damping is included through the
tangent stiffness matrix, [K*], and it may not be necessary to include the damping in the
analysis.
Mass Matrix
The code allows for two options: consistent mass and lumped mass. The consistent mass
matrix is fully populated and is derived from the energy formulation. In the case of lumped mass,
the matrix is diagonal and the tributary masses are lumped at the element nodes.
Absorbing Boundaries
In dynamic analysis, the waves radiating from a structure are reflected back in the mesh
(body) from the artificial or discretized end boundaries. This can cause spurious errors in the
computed response. One way to reduce this effect is to select the end boundaries far enough such
that the waves are absorbed by internal damping of the material. However, if the end boundaries
are close to the structure, it is desirable to provide for the absorption of the waves at the end
boundaries. In this code, the viscous damping model proposed by Lysmer and Kuhlemeyer
(1969) is implemented. Since this model is not very efficient in absorbing surface waves, it is
advisable to extend the (lateral) end boundaries as far as possible away from the structure.
Cyclic or Repetitive Loading
32
Details of cyclic or repetitive loading involving loading, unloading and reloading and
cyclic hardening are given in Appendix I.
Creep Behavior
The code includes the general DSC model which allows for microstructural changes
leading to fracture, failure or liquefaction and available continuum models such as elastic, plastic
and creep. For the latter, viscoelastic (ve), elasticviscoplastic (evp), and viscoelasticviscoplastic
(vevp) models can be used (Desai, 2001).
MATERIAL PARAMETERS
Appendix IV gives details for the determination of material constants for the above
models, based on appropriate laboratory tests for solids and interfaces/joints. It also gives details
of the determination of initial hardening and yield surface based on in situ stresses. Further
details for the HISS and DSC are also discussed in various references. Desai, et al. (1986), Desai
and Zhang (1987), Desai (1994, 1995, 2001), Desai, et al. (1995), Katti and Desai (1995), Desai
and Toth (1996), Desai, et al. (1997).
ORGANIZATION OF COMPUTER PROGRAM
The computer program consists of a main program and about 65 subroutines. The
program is coded in FORTRAN 90. All storage is allocated at the time of execution, and if
desired, the storage can be readily adjusted to the minimum required for the problem to be
analyzed.

APPENDIX I
CONSTITUTIVE MODELS
This Appendix describes various constitutive models including the unified Disturbed State
Concept (DSC).
Linear and Nonlinear Elastic Models
Linear Elastic Model
It is simplest, but probably the least applicable model for the realistic simulation of
nonlinear behavior. Its main use can be for preliminary studies, and for limited situations
involving mainly the linear behavior.
The constitutive relation for the linear elastic case is given by
C = e (I.1)
where [Cc] is the elastic constitutive matrix, which, for linear elastic and isotropic material, is a
function of two elastic constants, Young’s modulus, E, and Poisson’s ratio, [Desai and
Siriwardane (1984); Desai (2001)].
Nonlinear Elastic Models
In the computer program, hyperbolic model proposed by Kondner (1963) and formalized
by Kulhawy, et al. (1969) and Duncan and Chang (1970) is included to represent the nonlinear
elastic behavior of solid or soil materials. The tangent modulus, Et and tangent Poisson’s ratio,
t, are given by (Desai and Abel, 1972)

1 and 3 are major and minor principal stresses, respectively, c is cohesion, is the angle of
internal friction, pa is atmospheric pressure, Rr is failure ratio, n is modulus exponent, R is
modulus number, and G, F and d are Poisson’s ratio parameters.
A total of eight parameters, K , n , Rf, c, , G, F and d are required to compute Et and
t. If the Poisson’s ratio is assumed constant, five parameters, K , n , Rf, c, and are required.
For the joint/interface elements, the normal stiffness, kn, is often assumed constant (with
a high value) for compressive normal stress and the shear stiffness, ks, is represented by the
hyperbolid model; it is expressed as (Kulhawy, et al., 1969; Desai, 1974).

constants, kn, K*, n
* ca and , are required.
Plasticity Models
Various plasticity models with relevant yield criteria swhave been incorporated in the
program. The details of these criteria can be found in Desai and Siriwardane (1984), Desai
(1994), Desai, et al. (1986), Desai (1995, 2001). Here, the expressions for the yield criteria are
presented with description of parameters. Compressive stresses are assumed positive.

the Mohr-Coulomb failure envelope (Eq. I.6), then

where pco = initial value of po,

eo = initial void ratio,

v = trajectory or volumetric plastic strain.
5. Cap Model
The Cap model proposed by DiMaggio and Sandler (1971) has been adopted here. It
consists of a failure envelope (Ff) and a Cap surface (Fc), Figure I.2, the expressions for which
are
0 = J - p x e - - J = F 1
///D 2f (I.13)
and
0 = L - J + L - X - J R = F 1

where /,
/ and
/ are material parameters, and R, X and L refer to the geometry of the cap
(Figure I.2) which are related as
L - p x e - R + L = X /// (I.15)
The yielding (hardening) defined by the cap is function of the plastic volumetric strain,
p
v , which is denoted by the hardening parameter = p
v . The hardening rule is expressed as

6. Hoek-Brown Model Yield Criterion (Fig. I.3)
Hoek and Brown (1980) proposed a yield (failure) criterion for rock masses as
2c3c31 s+ m - - = F (I.17)
where 1 and 3 are major and minor principal stresses, respectively, c is uniaxial compressive
strength of intact rock material, and m and s are constants which depend upon the properties of
rock and upon the extent to which it has been broken before being subjected to stresses 1 and
3. The constant m has a finite positive value which ranges from about 0.001 for highly
disturbed rock masses to about 25 for hard intact rock. The maximum value of s is unity for
intact rock, and the minimum value is zero for heavily jointed or broken rock in which tensile
strength is reduced to zero.
In terms of stress invariants, Eq. (I.17) can be written as
0 = s- 3

7. Hierarchical Single Surface (HISS) Models (Desai, et al., 1986; Desai, 1995, 2001)
Advantages of the HISS model with respect to the foregoing models are listed in Chapter
1.
The two hierarchical models, isotropic hardening with associative behavior (0 model)
and isotropic hardening with nonassociative behavior (1 model), have been incorporated in the
program.

simple form of hardening function is given by
in which p
rdu and p
rdv are the incremental plastic shear and normal relative displacements,
respectively, a and b are hardening parameters, and Q is similar to that in Eq. (I.22).
Cohesive and Tensile Strengths
The yield function in the HISS model is extended to include cohesive or tensile strengths
by transforming the stress tensor as (Fig. I.4)
j ij i*
j i R + = (I.28a)
where R is related to cohesive or tensile strength. Details are given in Appendix IV.
Here, R can be found from empirical relations (see Appendix IV). It can also be found as
/ c= R a (I.28b)
where ac is the intercept along J2D-axis (intersection of J2D-axis and ultimate yield surface)
and is related to the cohesive strength, and is related to the slope of the ultimate yield envelope,
Fig. I.4.
Creep Models
Various models including elastoviscoplastic (evp) by Perzyna (1966) have been used to
characterize the creep behavior, Fig. I.5 (Cormeau, 1976; Owen and Hinton, 1980; Desai and
Zhang, 1987; Desai, et al., 1995; Samtani, et al., 1995). Overlay model for creep has been
proposed in (Zienkiewicz, et al., 1972; Pande, et al., 1977; Owen and Hinton, 1980). A general

approach called Multicomponent DSC (MDSC) has been proposed by Desai (2001). If the strains
in the component overlays, Fig. I.6, is assumed to be the same, the MDSC model specializes to
the overlay model.
Viscoelasticplatic (vep) or Perzyna Model
MDSC model contains various versions, such as elastic (e), viscoelastic (ve),
elastoviscoplastic (evp), and viscoelasticviscoplastic (vevp). Figure I.7(b) shows the general
rheological representation of MDSC model, from which various versions can be extracted
(Desai, 2001). For instance, the evp, Perzyna type model is shown in Fig. I.7(a), which is based
on the following expression for viscoplastic strain rate vector, vp :

Multicomponent (MDSC) or Overlay Models
In the overlay model (Fig. I.6), the behavior of a material is assumed to be composed of
those of several overlays, each of which undergoes the same deformation (strain) and provides a
specific material characterization. The total stress field is obtained as the sum of different
contributions from each overlay. By introducing a suitable number of overlays and assigning
different material properties (parameters) to each, a variety of special models can be reproduced,
as shown below.
47
The typical strain-time (creep) relationship under constant stress is shown in Fig. I.5. The
instantaneous elastic strain. o-a, is followed by a primary creep, a-b, during which, if unloading

occurs, an instantaneous elastic recovery, b-c, is followed by delayed elastic recovery, c-d. If the
load is continued beyond the primary creep range, secondary creep (b-e) begins which is
accompanied by irreversible deformations. Unloading at any time during b-e leaves a permanent
deformation or set (strain). On continued loading, tertiary creep begins leading to failure.
The overlay model for the two-dimensional problem is illustrated in Fig. I.6. Each
overlay can have different thicknesses and material properties. The overlays do not experience
relative motion, or they are “glued” together. Therefore, the overlay models exhibit the same
deformation under given loading.
In the MDSC (overlay) model developed here, a number of units are arranged in parallel,
Fig. I.7. This results in different stress fields, {j}, in each overlay (j) which contributes to the
total stress field {} according to the overlay thickness, tj; hence,
t = jj

(I.31)
in which k is the total number of overlays in the model, and

where [Cj] is the constitutive matrix. This matrix will be different for each overlay, according to

The solution procedure (see later) is then identical to that of standard viscoplasticity (Perzyna
type) involving time integration, with stress being calculated for each overlay (Owen and Hinton,
1980). It should be noted that the viscoplastic strain in an overlay will be different due to
differences in threshold yield values and flow rates, but the total strains in all overlays are the
same.
Specializations of MDSC (Overlay) Model
The material parameters for elastic, viscous and yield characterizations are shown in Fig.
I-6. By adopting different values of the parameters, the overlay model can specialize to various
versions. For instance, consider the overlay model with two viscoplastic units; such a two-
overlay model is commonly adopted; Table 1 gives examples of specializations.

3Here, with one overlay, all units are operational.
4Here, the first overlay (with y1 = 0), leads to the spring and dashpot, and, in the second
overlay, all units are operational.
Number of Overlays and Thicknesses
Usually, two overlays are sufficient and the thickness of each overlay is prescribed as 0.5.
Layered Systems with Different Material Properties
When a problem with layered material (e.g., pavement) is to be analyzed, some materials
may behave as viscoelasticviscoplastic (vevp), and others are elastic or elasto-plastic, the
following procedure can be used:
(i) For the material with vevp response, two overlays (Table I.1) can be used.
52
(ii) For the elastic response, the material is considered with one overlay and infinitely large
yield strength (Table I.1).
(iii) For the elasto-plastic response of the material, one overlay is used and the fluidity
parameter, , is taken to be very small, approximately 1/600 of fluidity parameter prescribed for
the vevp material, and N = 1.
DISTURBED STATE CONCEPT (DSC)
The DSC is considered as the culmination of various models developed previously. It is
general and unified from which most of the other models can be obtained as special cases. Its
hierarchical nature allows formulation of general constitutive matrix in computer (finite element)
procedures; hence, a chosen model can be achieved by inserting material parameters for that
model, say, elastic or continuous yield plasticity.
The DSC has been covered in a number of publications (Desai and Ma, 1992; Desai,
1995, 2001; Desai and Toth, 1996; Katti and Desai, 1995; Desai, et al., 1998a,b). Hence, brief
description is given below.
In the DSC, a deforming material element is assumed to consist of various components.
For instance, for a dry material, it is assumed to contain two components: continuum or relative
intact (RI) and discontinuum or fully adjusted (FA) phases. These components interact and
merge into each other, transforming the initial RI phase to the ultimate FA phase. The
transformation occurs due to continuous modifications in the microstructure of the material. The
disturbance or microstructural changes act as a coupling mechanism between the RI and FA
phases.
The incremental constitutive equations for the DSC can be expressed as follows:
53
ic
cc

dD

dCDd

(I.35a)
where a,i, and c denote observed, RI and FA states, respectively, {} and {} are the stress and
strain vectors, and dD the increment (or rate) of disturbance, D.
Degradation and Softening
The disturbance can be defined on the basis observed (laboratory and/or field) behavior
in terms of stress-strain, volumetric strain, pore water pressure, ultrasonic properties as P- and S-
waves, e.g., shear wave velocity (Desai, 2001). For instance, D can be expressed (Fig. I.8) as
ci
ai

(I-36a)
Disturbance can be expressed in terms of an internal variable such as accumulated deviatoric
plastic strain (D) or worki:
zDA
u eDD
1 (I-36b)
where Du, A, and Z are parameters determined by using Eq. (I-35).
The continuum or RI phase can be characterized by using models based on continuum
elasticity, plasticity or viscoplasticity. For instance, the constitutive matrix [Ci] can be defined by
the HISS plasticity or conventional plasticity model. The FA part can be modeled in various
ways by assuming that FA part (i) has no strength like conventional damage model by Kachanov
(1986), (ii) has hydrostatic strength like in classical plasticity, and (iii) has strength
corresponding to the critical state (Schofield and Wroth, 1968), at which the material deforms
without change in volume or density. For instance, if we assume that the FA part has only
hydrostatic strength, defined by bulk modulus, K, Eq. (I-35a) reduces to:

where {I} is the unit vector and {S} is the vector of shear stress components. Here, it is assumed

that case, eq. (I-35a) can be written as
dCd DSCa (I-35c)

where [Ct] can be elastic, elastoplastic, or elastoviscoplastic model.
THERMAL OR INITIAL STRAINS
Thermal and mechanical (loading) cycles are available in the finite element code. The
implementation aspects for various characterizations and cyclic (loading-unloading-reloading)
are described below.

The normality rule gives the increment of plastic strain vector {dp(T)} as
TQTd p , ,
(I.42)
where Q is the plastic potential function; for associative rule, Q F, where F is the yield
function. Now, the total incremental strain vector {dt} is given by

Thermoviscoplastic Behavior
The total temperature dependent strain rate vector, , is assumed to be the sum of
thermoelastic strain rate, )(Te , thermoviscoplastic strain rate, )(Tvp , and the thermal strain
rate due to temperature change dT, )(T , as
TTT vpe (I.49)
Here, the thermoviscoplastic strain is contributed by rheologic or creep and temperature effects.

DSC Model
In the case of the DSC model, Eq. (I.35), the RI response can be simulated as elastic, Eq.
(I.40), elastoplastic, Eq. (I.47b), or elastoviscoplastic, Eq. (I.55), which include the temperature
dependence.
With the general DSC model, Eq. (I.35), the disturbance parameters, Du, A and Z, Eq.
(I.36b) can be expressed as functions of temperature, by using Eq. (I.48). Their values
determined from tests at different temperatures, which are used to define the function in Eq.
(I.48).
CYCLIC AND REPETITIVE LOADING
Cyclic and repetitive loading, involving loading, unloading and reloading, occur in many
problems such as dynamics and earthquakes, thermomechnical response such as in electronic
packaging and semiconductor systems, and pavements. If the simulated behavior involves
continuing increase in stress along the same loading path, without unloading and reloading, Fig.
I.10, it is often referred to as monotonic or virgin loading. The unloading and reloading are often
referred to as nonvirgin loading. Loading in the opposite side, i.e., negative side of the (stress)
response, is sometimes referred to as reverse (reloading) loading. Cyclic loading without stress

reversal is often referred to one-way, while with stress reversals, it is referred to as two-way. In
the case of degradation or softening, decrease in stress beyond the peak occurs, but it is
considered different from unloading.
For the virgin loading, the constitutive equations, Eq. (I.35), apply. For nonvirgin
loading, it is required to consider additional and separate, often approximate, simulations.
In the case of elastoplastic model (e.g., HISS-0), the simulated virgin response allows
for the effect of plastic strains and plastic hardening or yielding, Fig. I.11(a). In the case of the
softening behavior, the plasticity model can simulate the RI behavior, and the use of DSC allows
for the degradation, Fig. I.11(b).
Plastic deformations can occur during unloading and reloading, and can influence the
overall response, Fig. I.11. Although models to allow for such behavior have been proposed in
the context of kinematic hardening plasticity (Mroz, et al., 1978); Somasundaram and Desai,
1988), they are often relatively complex and may involve computational difficulties. Hence,
approximate schemes that are simple but can provide satisfactory simulation have often been
used; one such method implemented in the present code, is described below.
Unloading
As indicated in Fig. I.10, the unloading response is usually nonlinear. However, as a
simplification, it is often treated as linear. Here, both linear and nonlinear elastic simulations are
included. For the nonlinear case, of which the linear simulation is a special case, the procedure
proposed by Shao and Desai (1998a,b) is used. During unloading, the following incremental
stress-strain equation is used:

Reloading
Figure I.12 shows two cases of reloading, for the one-way and two-way. In both cases,
the following constitutive equation is used:
dCRdCRd eDSCa 1 (I.63)
where R is the interpolation parameter such that 0 R 1; R = 0 for the beginning of
reloading and R = 1 at the end of reloading. Thus, at the beginning of reloading, the behavior is
elastic, given by
dCd ea (I.64a)
at the end of reloading, virgin response resumes:

The elastic modulus, ER, for the two cases, Fig. I.12, is different. For case 1, the elastic
modulus at the start of reloading, Ebr
, is given by
bbr EE (I.65a)
where Eb is the unloading slope at the beginning of unloading, Fig. I.13(a). For case 2,
ebr EE (I.65b)
where Ec is the slope at the end of unloading, Fig. I.13(b).
The interpolation parameter, R , for both cases is found as

where b
DJ 2 and J2D are the second invariants of the shear stress tensor at the beginning of the last

two cases. Then, a parameter, S, is defined as an indicator of the direction of reloading:
d

Tb dS (I.67)
where -1 S 1, {b}, {} and {d} are the stress vectors before unloading, the current stress
vector and the next stress increment respectively. S = -1 indicates case 1 reloading, while S = 1
indicates case 2 reloading. Now, Ebr
is interpolated between Eb and E as

Then, the modulus for reloading, ER, is found as

where E is the elastic modulus of the material, which is often found as (average) slope of the line
joining the unloading and end of unloading points or the initial slope, Fig. I.13(a). Then at the
beginning of reloading when R = 0, ER = E
br, which ensures smooth transition from unloading to
reloading, Fig. I.12(b). At the end of reloading (R = 1), E-R
- = E, which ensures smooth transition
from reloading to the virgin loading.
Cyclic Hardening
In the case of elastoplastic behavior, there exists a yield surface (Fo) corresponding to the
initial or past state of stress experienced by the material before the present cyclic or repetitive
load is applied, Fig. I.13. When unloading occurs, the plastic strains can change (increase or
decrease), and hence, for the reloading after the unloading, the yield surface that defines the
elastic limit usually expands from Fo to the initial surface, Fi, corresponding to each cycle N (= 1,
2, …). As a result, the magnitudes of plastic strains decrease from one cycle to the next, which is
often referred to as cyclic hardening.
For a given load or stress (increment), the final or bounding surface, Fb, can be defined
by solving the incremental constitutive equations, (I-35). In the case of repetitive loading under
constant amplitude of load (stress), Fig. I.13(b), the maximum load (Pmax) will be the amplitude
of the load (stress). In the case of cyclic (one-way) loading, Fig. I.13(c), the bounding surface,
Fb, would change for each stress increase. Note that in the repetitive load analysis, here, the time
effects are not included.
Mroz, et al. (1978) proposed a model for cyclic hardening, which was adopted by
Bonaquist and Witczak (1997) for materials in pavement structures. The approximate (modified)
method for cyclic hardening implemented in the present code is similar, and is described below.

For the given load or stress increment, two bounding surfaces are defined, Fo and Fb, Fig.
I.13, and the corresponding hardening functions and parameters are o and b, Eq. (I.20), and o
and b, respectively. Here, denotes the accumulated plastic strains:

where {dp} is the vector of incremental plastic strains. Then the initial yield surface parameter,
i, for a given cycle, i, is expressed as
ohoicN
b
11 (I.70a)
where hc is the cyclic hardening parameter, determined from laboratory repetitive tests. It
controls the rate of expansion of the initial yield surface, Fi, at the end of unloading for a given
cycle, N. If hc = 0, no cyclic hardening occurs.
Bonaquist and Witczak (1997) considered repeated tests involving the same stress
(amplitude) to an initially unstrained material specimen, o = 0. Then, Eq. (I.70a) becomes
bhibcN

where is the plastic strain trajectory up to cycle N. Plots of normalized trajectory /b vs
number of cycles are used to find hc through a least square procedure. For the granular material,
hc = 1.06 was found (Bonaquist and Witczak, 1997).
With the above formulation, the value of i, Eq. (I.70) is used to evaluate the hardening
function, i, Eq. (I.20). It is used to define the elastoplastic constitutive matrix [Cep
] = [Ci], Eq.
(I.36e), the general DSC matrix [DDSC
], Eqs. (I-35e), and (I.63), when reloading occurs

APPENDIX II
ELASTO-PLASTIC EQUATIONS
The incremental total strain vector {d} is the sum of incremental elastic, {de} and
plastic, {p} strain vectors, i.e.,
d + d = d pe (II.1)
The incremental elastic strain is related to the incremental stress as
d C = d ee (II.2)
where {d} is the incremental stress vector and [Ce] is the elasticity matrix.
Using the theory of plasticity, the incremental plastic strain vector is given by the flow
rule
Q = d 'p (II.3)
where / is the scalar constant of proportionality.
The consistency condition is
dF = 0 (II.4)
Equations (II.1) to (II.4) are combined to obtain the incremental stress-strain relation
d C = d p e (II.5)

APPENDIX III
DRIFT CORRECTION AND DSC COMPUTER ALGORITHM
Under a given stress increment, {d}, the stresses at point B do not lie on the yield
surface, Fig. 6 (in the main text), i.e., F ({B}, B) > 0, where is the hardening function. The
stress vector {B} and B are to be corrected so that F ({B}, B) 0. The method, designated as
“correction” method by Potts and Gens (1985) and modified by Desai, et al. (1991), is described
below.
The correction is carried out by an iteration procedure. At the nth iteration, the stresses

The derivatives

, are evaluated at the stress point {n-1}. The
iterations are performed until the yield function is satisfied, i.e., F ({n}, n) 0 within the
tolerance of 10-6

DSC Computer Algorithm
According to Eq. (I.35a), the DSC incremental finite element equations are given by

where DSC

Q is the applied load vector,
~oQ is the balanced load vector. Incremental
iterative solution of Eq. (III.12) involves negative definite stiffness matrix in the softening zone
(Desai and Toth, 1996). However, a number of approximate but simplified strategies can be used
(Desai and Woo, 1993; Desai, et al., 1999; Desai, 2001). One such scheme is to first solve for the
76
RI response by considering only the symmetric part of DSC

the following RI equations are first solved:

disturbance, Eq. (I.36), is found and updated. Details of the procedure are given in Desai (2001).

APPENDIX IV
DETERMINATION OF CONSTANTS FOR VARIOUS MODELS
Procedures for the determination of constants for the HISS-0 and 1 models are first
described below, Desai and Wathugala (1987), Desai (1990), Desai (1994). Brief details for
determination of constants for other models, elastoviscoplastic, and disturbance (softening or
degradation) are given later.
As stated before, the constants involved in the HISS models have physical meanings and
can be determined from uniaxial, shear, hydrostatic, triaxial (cylindrical) and multiaxial (cubical)
tests.
In fact, the constants can be estimated from One Compression and One Extension
Test.
If the angles of friction in compression and extension are assumed to be equal,
i.e., c = , then three compression test can be used to find constants.
For 0 and 1 models, computer code (see below) can be used to calculate the
constants.
Schematic plots required to find the constants and brief details are given below.

Although it may depend on factors such as initial density, an average constant value of n

other materials such as rock and concrete, it would be higher, often of the order of 7 to 10.
Cohesive Materials (Soils): In the case of cohesive soils, usually the (undrained) stress path may
not reach the ultimate (asymptotic) curve, and failure can occur as the phase change or the

where the term R is related to c and , Fig. I.4, and ij = Kronecker delta; R = 0 for
cohesionless materials. R can be related to the uniaxial tensile strength of the material, ft. An
empirical relation is given as (Salami and Desai, 1990; Lade, 1982):
f 1.014 R f 1.003tt
(IV.10)
Once R is known, *
ij is used in F* = 0 Fig. (IV.7), and the plasticity parameters ( and ) are
found based on the modified F.
For rocks, f1 can be found from the following expression (Hoek and Brown, 1980)
s4 + m - m 2
1 = f 2
ct (IV.11a)
where c = unconfined compressive strength, s1 = 1.0 for intact rock, and parameter m is found
from compression test results.
87
The value of R can also be obtained in a simplified procedure, as
/ c= R a3 (IV.11b)
where ac = the intercept of DJ 2 - axis with respect to the ultimate yield surface and is related
to the cohesive strength, and is related to the slope of the ultimate yield surface (line).
COMPUTER CODE TO FIND CONSTANTS FOR 0- AND 1 MODELS
Based on the information above, and in Desai (2001), the parameters can be found by
using EXCEL.
A computer code has also been prepared to evaluate the parameters for the 0-- and 1-
models. Here, the user needs to input available stress-strain data, and the constants are computed
and printed out.
Viscoplastic and Creep Models, 0 + vp: Figs. (IV.8), (IV.9)

where t = time, T = temperature, 1 - 3 = d = stress difference, and q, N and p are parameters.
From creep tests, Eq. (IV.13) can be established by finding the constants using least square fit.
For a rock salt, average values q = 0.4 and N = 3.0 were found. Now, a general form of rate vp

The values of F/Fo and are found from test data [Fig. IV.9(b)] for various stress increments
(levels). Then ℓn vs ℓn (F/Fo) are plotted, Fig. IV.9(c). The average slope gives the value of N
and the intercept when ℓn (F/Fo) = 0 gives the value of , the fluidity parameter.
Thus for 0 + vp model, the number of
constants = 7 (8) + 2 = 9 (10).
Elastoviscoplastic: MDSC (Overlay Models
The foregoing gives details of the viscoplastic model according to Perzyna’s theory,
which is a special case of the general elastoviscoplastic (vevp) model available in the code; it is
based on the overlay model (Appendix I) and provides four options: elastic (e), viscoelastic (ve),
elastoviscoplastic (evp-Perzyna) and general vevp model.
It is useful to note that the parameters in the elastoviscoplastic models are essentially the
same as elastic, plastic and viscous, Table I.1 (Appendix I). Hence, their determination follows
the same procedures as for elastic, plastic, viscous, etc., models.
93
Some of the advantages of the MDSC (overlay model) are:
1. It allows for four hierarchical options, Table I-1.
2. The parameters are the same as those required for various characterizations such as
elastic and elastoplastic, and creep.
3. The disturbance (DSC) model including microcracking, fracture and degradation
(damage) can be used directly with the evep models to characterize the relative intact (RI)
behavior. Thus, creep effects can be integrated with disturbance (or damage).
4. The parameters have physical meanings as they are related to specific deformation
states, and hence, the need for regression (which may lose the physical meanings) is minimized.
5. The model can allow implicitly for elastic, plastic and creep strains with
microcracking, damage (or degradation) in a single framework.
6. The implementation of the models in computer (finite element) procedures is straight
forward and standard, and includes the available convergence and rebustness characteristics
(Appendices II and III).
As a result, the MDSC (overlay) model can provide an integrated and unified approach
with compactness of parameters, and can lead to significant advantages and simplification
compared to the closed-form models (e.g., Schapery, 1969, 1984).
Disturbance Model: (Fig. IV.10)
Details are given in Desai and Ma (1992), Desai (1995, 2001), Katti and Desai (1995),
Desai and Toth (1996).
In this model, the intact behavior is represented by using the 0-model (7 or 8 constants).
It can also be simulated as linear or nonlinear elastic (Desai and Toth, 1996).

The behavior of the material part in the fully adjusted (FA) state can be simulated in various
ways (Desai, 1995); Desai and Toth, 1995): (i) it has no strength, like in classicalo continuum
damage model (Kachanov, 1986), (ii) as a constrained liquid with no shear strength but with
hydrostatic strength, or (iii) as critical state (Roscoe, et al., 1958) when the material can carry
shear stress reached up to that state for a given hydrostatic stress and deform at constant volume.
In the present code, the constrained liquid simulation is used.
For the disturbance and softening behavior, three additional constants, Du, A and Z, are
needed in the following equations for the disturbance, D.
A - p x e - 1 - D = DZ
Du (IV.16)
where Du = ultimate disturbance and A and Z are parameters.
Disturbance D can be defined approximately as (Fig. IV.10a):
J - J
J - J = D
c2D
i2D
a2D
i2D
(IV.17)
where a, i, and c denote observed, intact and fully adjusted responses, respectively. It can also be
found from other test data such as void ratio (or volume), effective stress or pore water pressure,
and nondestructive properties such as velocities (Desai and Toth, 1996; Desai, 1995; Desai, et
al., 1998).
Now, from Eq. (IV.16)

Thus for the DSC model, the number of constants:

Disturbance: = 3
CYCLIC LOADING AND LIQUEFACTION
An anisotropic hardening model (2) in the context of HISS models for sands is available
in Somasundaram and Desai (1988). A similar model (*0) for clays is available in Wathugala
and Desai (1993). These models have been implemented in dynamic coupled finite element
procedures. However, the disturbed state concept (DSC) provides a relatively simple procedure
for including the cyclic behavior. Hence, the DSC model for soils, interfaces and solders (Katti
and Desai, 1995; Desai, et al., 1995; Desai, et al., 1997; Park and Desai, 1997; Shao and Desai,
1998a,b) is implemented in separate code that allows for static and cyclic behavior of solids,
geologic materials and interfaces; it also allows identification of instability and liquefaction
(Desai, et al., 1998b). This code (DSC_DYN2D) and its documentation can be available
separately.
Cyclic or Repetitive Loadings, Unloading and Reloading
The present codes are based on use of the 0 or 1 model for virgin loading; hence, the
parameters are the same as those above for the virgin loading. The unloading and reloading are
97
simulated by using special procedures described in Appendix I. The elastic parameters involve
slopes of unloading and reloading curves (Appendix I), and cyclic hardening involves parameter
hc; they are found from appropriate laboratory tests.
INITIAL CONDITIONS (Desai, 2001)
To introduce initial (stress) conditions, the values of and need to be found to establish
the starting conditions and the corresponding yield surface.

For general initial stress conditions {o}, Eq. (IV.19) is used to find = o. Then 0 is
found from
) / a( = 11/
010
(IV.20)
For hydrostatic initial stress (x = y = z; xy = yz = zx = 0), Eq. (IV.19) reduces to
= v (D = 0), and 0 is found from Eq. (IV.20).
Environmental Effects
Fluid or Water
The DSC model has been developed for saturated porous materials, and is implemented
(as stated above) for dynamic and liquefaction analysis (Park and Desai, 1997; Desai, et al.,
1998b). Here, the effective stress approach is used. Separate codes (DSC-DYN2D and DSC-
SST3D) are available for this problem.

The DSC model has been developed for partially saturated materials by incorporating
