Question about Modeling Geosynthetic Material

Post by brandonschiller » Tue Aug 18, 2015 9:17 pm

Hello,

I am trying to model the stress-strain response of a single geogrid element (biaxial polypropylene geogrid) under cyclic uniaxial loading. I am asking if anyone has a suggestion for a material to use in order to accurately model this. The material needs to work in tension only, and it must produce a large residual strain during the first loading cycle and small residual strains in each additional loading cycle. Any suggestions or help is appreciated!

Thank you,
