Grain fragmentation in sheared granular flow: weakening effects, energy dissipation, and strain localization
Charles K. C. Lieou, Ahmed E. Elbanna, Jean M. Carlson
We describe the shear flow of a disordered granular material in the presence of grain fracture using the shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theory of amorphous plasticity adapted to s…

Sacrificial bonds and hidden length in biomaterials -- a kinetic, constitutive description of strength and toughness in bone
Charles K. C. Lieou, Ahmed E. Elbanna, Jean M. Carlson
Sacrificial bonds and hidden length in structural molecules account for the greatly increased fracture toughness of biological materials compared to synthetic materials without suc…
