Stress-strain relations for sand based on particulate considerations

Particulate, discrete and frictional systems such as sand constitute a separate class of materials. In order to derive stress-strain relations for these materials, their key features have to be identified and incorporated into the theoretical formulations. The presence of voids, the ability to under...
