Numerical Modeling of Strain Localization in Granular Materials Using Cosserat Theory Enhanced with Microfabric Properties
Finite element solution in the updated Lagrangian frame is used to investigate the strain localization phenomenon "shear bands" in granular materials. The micro-polar theory was used as the mathematical foundation for the continuum formulations. A laboratory testing results are used for ve...
