The Critical State and the Steady-State solution in Granular Solid Hydrodynamics

Geophysics 2010-10-27 v3 Soft Condensed Matter

Abstract

The approach to the critical state -- the transition from partially elastic to perfectly plastic behavior -- is considered the most characteristic of granular phenomena in soil mechanics. By identifying the critical state as the steady-state solution of the elastic strain, and presenting the main results as transparent, analytic expressions, the physics of this important phenomenon is clarified.
