The "rst objective of this research was to improve the experimental measurements for the constitutive behaviour of Red Wildmoor sandstone by optimizing the boundary conditions and specimen geometry, and improving the triaxial test instrumentation. The uniformity of deformation of the rock specimen w

β¦ Synopsis
On the basis of an extensive experimental program of axisymmetric triaxial compression and extension tests, the mechanical behaviour of a weak sandstone (Red Wildmoor sandstone) is analysed and modelled within the frame of the theory of elastoplasticity. Stress-dependent elasticity and damage are incorporated into the model. Pressure sensitivity of the plastic behaviour is described through a non-linear Mohr}Coulomb model with friction hardening and cohesion softening. Emphasis is given on the calibration procedure. Validation of the model is done through back analysis of the experimental tests. Shear-band analysis is performed on the basis of the extension of the constitutive model to non-coaxial plasticity.

A single-surface elasto-plastic model developed by Desai and his coworkers is used to predict the behaviour of an interface between sand and a steel plate. The loading in the experiments and in their predictions followed various stress and displacement paths. The results of predictions of the two-an
A plasticity based constitutive compressive material model is proposed to model wood as elasto-plastic orthotropic according to the Hill yield criterion in regions of bi-axial compression. Linear elastic orthotropic material response is applied otherwise with maximum stresses taken as failure criter
Repeated small amplitude dynamic loading of the soil in the vicinity of buildings, as arising from traffic or construction activities, may cause differential foundation settlements and structural damage.

## Abstract We review the continuous and fullyβdiscrete problem setting of an elastoβplastic Cosserat model, which is an enhanced continuum model with independent rotational degrees of freedom. The continuous model is defined by a variational inequality, and for the discrete model a corresponding n
