✦ Synopsis

The present paper introduces a genetic algorithm-based optimization technique to calibrate a nonlinear strain hardening-softening constitutive model for soils using five material parameters. The efficiency of the proposed technique is analyzed through the use of different GA techniques. The effects of elitism, crossover, and mutation, as well as population size, on the performance of the conventional GAs for this problem are investigated. Micro-genetic algorithms (mGAs) are chosen and tested for different population sizes. The mGAs with a population size of five yields the optimal parameter values after fewer function evaluations and capture the overall simulated or experimental behavior at every point in stressstrain and strain paths in triaxial compression. The proposed calibration technique is validated through comparison with the traditional calibration technique.

A systematic mathematical approach is developed in the context of uniaxial cyclic ratcheting for the parameter determination of the decomposed Chaboche hardening rule. This is achieved by deriving the relation between the evolution of the backstress and the plastic strain accumulation. Unlike curren
