The constitutive models PM4Sand (Boulanger and Ziotopoulou 2017) and PM4Silt (Boulanger and Ziotopoulou 2018) for plane-strain earthquake engineering applications for sands, and clays and low-plasticity silts respectively are now available through Soilmodels. The links provided lead to the websites of the two models where users can find their manuals, the dlls (compiled dynamic link libraries for use with FLAC8 with cppudm and dynamic options), some example single-element drivers for four different loading conditions, as well as pertinent publications that demonstrate their use in different applications.

Spurious oscillations in calculated accelerations
Hello everyone, I have just a general question how people approach the problem of spurious oscillations generated in dynamic analysis when using nonlinear soil constitutive models. I understand sometimes numerical […] -
Cyclic simple shear test simulation with hypoplasticity
Dear All, I am using sand hypoplastic model in my research and I have encountered some problem when looking into cyclic simple shear test in the range of small strains. […] -
Dynamic Compaction Simulation by ABAQUS
Greeting Everyone, I’m a new user of ABAQUS. I’m trying to simulate soil dynamic compaction by Cap model. I simulated the blow by half sinusoidal wave. Although I used Cap […] -
New book “Modelling of Soil Behaviour of Hypoplasticity”
I have just returned to Springer proofs of my new book “Modelling of Soil Behaviour of Hypoplasticity – Another Approach to Soil Constitutive Modelling“. It will probably still take few […] -
Calibration of Hypoplastic material model parameters
I would like to derive material parameters based for a simulation which will implement the hypoplastic material model based on the following information: • Heavily overconsolidated • Very dense, fine […] -
