Hypoplasticity is an incrementally nonlinear constitutive theory of granular materials. It is
able to describe dissipative behaviour, plastic flow and nonlinear effects within the yield …

In this paper a micro‐polar continuum approach is proposed to model the essential
properties of cohesionless granular materials like sand. The model takes into account the …

For broken rock materials under stress the process of weathering and consequently the
degradation of the solid hardness may be accelerated under water. Thus, the resistance of …

This paper focuses on the analysis of shear band formation in a cohesionless and initially
transversely isotropic granular material based on a hypoplastic continuum approach. The …

We investigate rate-independent strain paths in a granular material generated by
periodically oscillating stress cycles using a particular constitutive model within the …

The wetting deformation of weathered rockfill materials has been attracting growing attention
from both engineers and scientists. The importance of realistic predictions of wetting …

We investigate rate-independent stress paths under constant rate of strain within the
hypoplasticity theory of Kolymbas type. For a particular simplified hypoplastic constitutive …

In this paper the mechanical behavior of a soilbag under an increasing vertical compression
is numerically investigated using a micro-polar continuum approach. Particular attention is …

The complete thermodynamically consistent turbulent closure models of isochoric and
isothermal dry granular dense flows with incompressible grains and weak turbulent intensity …

In the present study, the Goodman–Cowin theory is extended to incorporate plastic features
to construct an elasto-visco-plastic constitutive model for flowing dry granular materials. A …
