โฆ Synopsis
The effect of heat on clay behaviour is characterized by non-linearity and irreversibility. Due to the complex influence of temperature, thermomechanical factors have to be taken into account for the numerical simulation of the behaviour of such materials. A cyclic thermo-viscoplastic model is developed for this purpose. It includes thermal hardening and the evolution of yield surfaces with temperature. From the physical point of view, it is built on the basis of available experimental results for a temperature range in which no phase change occurs. Conceptually, it is the generalization of an isothermal multimechanism cyclic model. A thermoplastic formulation of the model is also derived. The results obtained from numerical simulations compare well with experiments.

Up to now, a number of models have been proposed and discussed to describe a wide range of inelastic behaviours of materials. The fatal problem of using such models is however the existence of model errors, and the problem remains inevitably as far as a material model is written explicitly. In this
Argillaceous masses considered for potential nuclear waste repositories may exhibit significant space variability in their carbonate content. This may affect mechanical clay properties, such as strength or maximum apparent preconsolidation stress known to strongly depend on carbonate content. This p
