Multilaminate Elastoplastic Model for Granular Media
author
Abstract:
A multilaminate based model capable of predicting the behavior of granular material on the basis of sliding mechanisms and elastic behavior of particles is presented. The capability of the model to predict the behavior of sand under arbitrary stress paths is examined. The influences of rotation of the direction of principal stress axes and induced anisotropy are included in a rational way without any additional hypotheses. The predicted numerical results of sand specimens in hollow cylindrical and true triaxial tests and also under undrained conditions are presented.

A Sub Loading Surface Multilaminate Model for Elastic-Plastic Porous Media
A framework for development of constitutive models based on semi-micromechanical aspects of plasticity is proposed. The resulting of this model for material employed friction type failure criterion, sub-loading surface, and associated flow rule. This model is capable of predicting effects of the rotation of principal stress/strain axes and consequent plastic flow, induced anisotropy of strength...
full textStability of shear bands in an elastoplastic model for granular flow: The role of discreteness
Continuum models for granular flow generally give rise to systems of nonlinear partial differential equations that are linearly ill-posed. In this paper we introduce discreteness into an elastoplasticity model for granular flow by approximating spatial derivatives with finite differences. The resulting ordinary differential equations have bounded solutions for all time, a consequence of both di...
full textCharacterization of wave propagation in elastic and elastoplastic granular chains.
For short duration impulse loadings, elastic granular chains are known to support solitary waves, while elastoplastic chains have recently been shown to exhibit two force decay regimes [ Pal, Awasthi and Geubelle Granular Matter 15 747 (2013)]. In this work, the dynamics of monodisperse elastic and elastoplastic granular chains under a wide range of loading conditions is studied, and two distin...

full textHydrodynamic Model for Particle Size Segregation in Granular Media
We present a hydrodynamic theoretical model for “Brazil nut” size segregation in granular materials. We give analytical solutions for the rise velocity of a large intruder particle immersed in a medium of monodisperse fluidized small particles. We propose a new mechanism for this particle size-segregation due to buoyant forces caused by density variations which come from differences in the loca...
full textDensity fluctuations in a model for vibrated granular media.
This paper presents the study of density fluctuations in a model for vibrated granular media. Their microscopic origin is shown to be linked to the microscopic disorder in grains packing. Varying vibrations amplitude and duration, several regimes are found for density relaxation. Its power spectrum is well described by power laws.
