AbstractIn the framework of generalized plasticity theory, this paper presents a new elastoplastic model to characterize complicated softening/hardening and dilation/contraction behaviors of sand–gravel composites in triaxial tests. The model has…

AbstractFor granular materials, the kinematic degrees of freedom at the microscale of particles are the particles’ displacements and rotations. In classical continuum mechanics, the kinematic degree of freedom at the…
