Abstract
An Eulerean large-strain finite element formulation is presented to si mulate static soil penetration. The method is an extension of the Upda ted Lagrangean description to an Eulerean formulation taking into acco unt convection of deformation-history-dependent properties as well as material properties. The strength of the soil is characterized by a no n-associated Drucker-Prager criterion which depends on peak and critic al friction angles. The model is applied to cone penetration in two-la yer systems: (a) clay on sand and (b) sand on clay.
