Abstract:This paper presents first the applications of uniqueness and strain localization analysis of saturated porous media, where localization of deformation into well defined narrow zones in a saturated porous medium is studied in terms of discontinuous bifurcation theory. A generalized plasticity constitutive model and a Mohr-Coulomb model are used in both the theoretical and numerical analyses of shear. band formations. The critical hardening moduli and shear band angle for localization are computed, and quantitative results are given for. both constitutive models. Numerical results previously obtained and new ones are confirmed by this analytical and numerical investigation. Copyright (C) 2002 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.
