Hypoplasticity: A Framework to Model Granular Materials

  • Conference paper
Behaviour of Granular Materials

Part of the book series: International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ((CISM,volume 385))

Abstract

To solve a series of problems, engineers are interested in the mechanical behaviour of materials (and geomaterials are, probably, the most fascinating materials). What are our approaches to detect the mechanical behaviour of materials? We approach by observation, experiments and theories. Constitutive models are theories. A common opinion is that experiments are of primary importance. As soon as the experimental results are available, the formulation of an appropriate theory is straightforward. Another common opinion is that constitutive theories (models) are only valuable to feed sophisticated FEM-codes. Both opinions are not completely true and are, thus, misleading. It is very important to realize that a theory (besides serving as a tool for better FEM-simulations) helps to understand nature. C. H. Darwin said that ‘All observation must be for or against some view, if it is to be of any service’. Besides of this, we have to recognize that experiments are burdened with a series of errors.
