Journal ArticleDOI
A Micromechanical Description of Granular Material Behavior
TL;DR: In this paper, a general representation for the macroscopic stresses in terms of the volume average of the (tensorial) product of the contact forces and the vectors which connect the centroids of adjacent contacting granules is established.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eigentensors of linear anisotropic elastic materials
M. M. Mehrabadi,Stephen C. Cowin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method of construction of the eigentensors for the anisotropic elastic-material symmetries is presented and applied to determine the eigenensors of each elastic symmetry.
Journal ArticleDOI
On statistical description of stress and fabric in granular materials
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between the macroscopic stress and the resulting granular fabric and provided conditions under which the two representations of overall stresses are equivalent, and explicit results were given, which define stresses in terms of the fabric and other microstructural characteristics of the granular mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Identification of Material Symmetry for Anisotropic Elastic Materials
Stephen C. Cowin,M. M. Mehrabadi +1 more
Journal ArticleDOI
Initial planar deformation of dilatant granular materials
M. M. Mehrabadi,Stephen C. Cowin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a theory for the initial planar deformation of dilatant granular materials based on a kinematic proposal of R. Butterfield and R.M. Harkness is presented.
