Abstract:

We study a strain gradient-enhanced version of a model for geomaterials under compression by Marigo and Kazymyrenko (2019) coupling damage and small-strain associative plasticity. We prove that the jumps in time of the plastic variable may happen only along jumps of the damage variable. Moreover, we perform a vanishing-viscosity analysis showing existence of Balanced Viscosity quasistatic solutions à la Mielke-Rossi-Savaré.
