Title
Clay Hypoplasticity (Mašín, 2014)
Description
Clay hypoplasticity is an advanced incrementally non-linear constitutive model proposed by Mašín (2014) based on critical state soil mechanics developed specifically for simulation of fine-grained materials. Its response has been validated using a number single and finite element simulations of various geotechnical problems, both onshore and offshore. When combined with so-called intergranular strain concept (Niemunis and Herle, 1997), it is capable of predicting small strain stiffness degradation and cyclic loading effects.

Calibration Software Offering This Model
ExCalibre is online tool for automatic calibration of soil constitutive models, adopting a unique model-specific calibration algorithm respecting physical meaning of material parameters. Experimental data are read from a simple Excel spreadhseet template.
Triax is an inhouse element test constitutive model driver developed since 2001 at Charles University and elsewhere by David Mašín and coworkers. It covers wide range of constitutive models and testing conditions.
The SoilTest option is a quick and convenient procedure to simulate basic soil lab tests. It also offers the possibility to optimise model parameters. It works for any model, both standard soil models as well as user-defined models.
Incremental Driver is a single element code developed by Andrzej Niemunis (2007, 2014) for running element tests using constitutive models implemented in umat format.
Simple Matlab driver running elasto-plastic and hypoplastic models. Rather an education tool than a serious calibration software, but some may find it useful to familiarize with the structure of constitutive model equations and to run simple element test simulations.
A dedicated special purpose incremental driver which is able to calculate the results of homogeneous experiments. Both displacement controlled and force controlled experiments can be performed.
