From Elasticity to Hypoplasticity: Dynamics of Granular Solids

Soft Condensed Matter 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

"Granular elasticity," useful for calculating static stress distributions in granular media, is generalized by including the effects of slowly moving, deformed grains. The result is a hydrodynamic theory for granular solids that agrees well with models from soil mechanics.
