IC MAGE Model 02 – Simple state-parameter dependent model with isotropic small strain stiffness

  • 1. Imperial College London
  • 2. University of Coimbra

Description

IC MAGE M02 is a user-defined model for PLAXIS built using the IC MAGE UMIP framework which combines the state-parameter framework by Been & Jefferies (1985) with a Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion. The elastic response is given by the isotropic small strain stiffness model IC.G3S by Taborda et al. (2016). A reversal detection algorithm within a cyclic nonlinear elastic framework allows for the generation of hysteresis (and energy dissipation).
