Multi-scale homogenization of granular media

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

The micromechanical theory of granular media, recently introduced by the authors, is here discussed in terms of homogenization concepts, and is employed to analyze the problem of a granular half-space subject to a concentrated compressive load at the free boundary. By contrast with the classical solution of Flamant, tensile microstresses are shown to exist. This provides a solution for the decades-old problem of the tensile openings in supporting geotechnical materials.
