Abstract A rate-dependent inelastic behavior or viscoelastoplastic behavior of soil subjected to dynamic loading of a moving rigid wheel is studied herein. A rational approach to this seemingly complex problem is treated in the context of continuum mechanics. Together with the concept of critical state soil mechanics for inelastic behavior we incorporate the so-called internal state variables for viscous effects. It is assumed that the free energy functional containing inelastic behavior may not be smooth for its entire domain of time histories. Rather, we assume a form of discretized free energy as a function of elastic strains, plastic strains, and internal or hidden variables of incremental quantity considered to be valid only for a small time interval or a fraction of loading increments. The finite element method is used to derive governing equations of motion. Exhaustive numerical examples are presented to demonstrate effectiveness of the present method.
