    Description of ISA-hypoplasticity
    Hypoplastic models alone reproduce well the behavior of soils under
    monotonic loading, but fails to simulate its behavior upon cyclic loading.
    The Intergranular Strain Anisotropy (ISA) is a mathematical extension of
    conventional hypoplastic models for soils, proposed originally by Fuentes
    and Triantafyllidis (2015) to improve simulations of cyclic loading. It can be
    considered as a reformulation of the conventional intergranular strain
    theory by Niemunis and Herle (1997). Basically, this extension reproduces
    the following characteristics:
    a) Yield surface within the intergranular strain space for elastic strains
    b) the stiffness increase upon reversal loading
    c) the reduction of the plastic strain rate for same conditions.

    ISA-hypoplastic models are also able to reproduce paths of repetitive


    cycles, and provide an extension to account for cyclic mobility effects and
    thus, enabling simulations of liquefaction phenomena.
    Examples of simulations (element
    tests)
    Example FE-problem
    On this analysis a concrete-filled pile driven into a thick
    and homogeneous sand layer and subjected to a cyclic
    axial load is simulated. The pile has diameter D = 0.80 m
    and length L = 13.0 m. Taking advantage of the symmetry
    of the problem, an axially symmetric condition is
    considered, therefore four-node axisymmetric elements
    CAX4 are used. The ground water table lies on the top of
    the soil. An axial cyclic load with frequency f = 4 Hz is
    applied as a concentrated force at the top of the pile.
    Locally undrained conditions are considered. Due to the
    cyclic loading, the pore pressure rises and the effective
    stress decreases causing zones in which liquefaction may
    occur.
