The non-linear field theories of mechanics

TL;DR: A theory aiming to describe their mechanical behavior must take heed of their deformability and represent the definite principles it obeys as mentioned in this paper, which is not the case in modern physics, since it concerns solely the small particles of matter.

Experiments on a Gravity-Free Dispersion of Large Solid Spheres in a Newtonian Fluid under Shear

TL;DR: In this article, a large number of spherical grains of diameter D = 0.13 cm were sheared in Newtonian fluids of varying viscosity (water and a glycerine-water-alcohol mixture) in the annular space between two concentric drums.

Soil Behaviour and Critical State Soil Mechanics

TL;DR: In this article, the basic ingredients of a family of simple elastic-plastic models of soil behaviour are described and used in numerical analyses. But the models on which this book concentrates are simple, understanding of these will indicate the ways in which more sophisticated models will perform.

Frictional–collisional constitutive relations for granular materials, with application to plane shearing

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose constitutive relations and boundary conditions for plane shear of a cohesionless granular material between infinite horizontal plates, and show that not all the material between the plates participates in shearing and the solutions for the shearing material are coupled to a yield condition for the non-shearing material to give a complete solution of the problem.

The stress-dilatancy relation for static equilibrium of an assembly of particles in contact

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the relationship between the rate of dilatancy and the maximum stress ratio for any ideal packing and showed that the Mohr-Coulomb criterion of failure is strictly applicable to a continuum and does not have general application to a discontinuous assembly of particles.
