A Thermodynamic Constitutive Model for Saturated Sand

This paper establishes a non-equilibrium thermodynamic constitutive model that can predict the undrained shear behavior of saturated sand. Starting from the basic laws of thermodynamics, the model does not require the classical concepts in elasto-plastic models, such as the yield function, the flow...
