Abstract
The essential features of the stress-strain-strength response of soils subjected to both hydrostatic and deviatoric states of stress are briefly discussed. The fundamental equations of the work-hardening elastic-plastic constitutive models are summarized for both the associated and the nonassociated flow rules, and the ramifications of using these flow rules for modeling the stress-strain response of frictional materials are pointed out. A procedure for fitting elastic-plastic models (based on the associated flow rule) to a given set of laboratory test data is outlined, and the application of such models for characterization of the stress-strain response of soil is demonstrated. Finally, some results from large-scale numerical calculations of wave propagation in earth materials using elastic-plastic soil models are presented.
