Extension to <strong>small</strong> <strong>strain</strong>: new ingredients<br />

To extend standard HS <strong>model</strong> to the range of <strong>small</strong> <strong>strain</strong> Benz<br />

introduced few modifications:<br />

1 Strain dependency is added to the stress-<strong>strain</strong> relation, for<br />

stress paths penetrating the elastic domain<br />

2 The modified Hardin-Drnevich relationship is used to relate<br />

current secant shear modulus G and equivalent monotonic<br />

shear <strong>strain</strong> γ hist<br />

3 Reversal points are detected <strong>with</strong> aid of deviatoric <strong>strain</strong><br />

history second order tensor H ij ; in addition the current<br />

equivalent shear <strong>strain</strong> γ hist is computed by using this tensor<br />
