dracker prager plasticity model with softening

Submitted by Gamal on

Hi my friends,i am using Dracker prager plasticity model to simulate uniaxial compression (softening) of coal samples.in dracker prager, the shear criterion is linear, and the hardening type is compression. there is a table that i should fill out, this table composed of yield stress and abs. plastic stain. my question is:- how can i fill out this table by using the experimental data (stress-strain diagram for uniaxial compression test) ?? shall i convert these data using any equations??

Postodoctoral position in multiphase flow in porous media, University of Texas at Austin

Submitted by masha on

The postdoctoral researcher will develop three-dimensional, network-like
models for fluid displacement in low permeability porous media. Such
porous materials involve multiple relevant length scales (e.g. micro-fractures
connected to the adjacent matrix) and models to date are not representative.

This research-only position will be supervised by Drs. Maša
Prodanović and Steven L. Bryant from Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering, University of Texas at Austin.
