Abstract

In this work, the Authors describe some of the still open and unsolved questions related to the constitutive modeling of snow with reference to Elasto-Plastic approaches. Furthermore, some suggestions on possible computational solutions through Finite Element tools are highlighted. [...]

Abstract

Constitutive models have been utilized to study the mechanical behaviors of solid material. The formulation of constitutive relations is difficult and could be associated with limiting hypothesis. This work proposes neural network-based approaches to reproduce the complex nonlinear [...]
