Thermomechanics of dense granular materials: a particle-scale perspective
Matthew R. Kuhn
The paper presents a broad thermomechanic framework for the isothermal rate-independent constitutive behavior of dense granular materials. The essential quantities in this framewor…

A thermomechanical framework for strongly nonlocal continua
Matthew R. Kuhn
The paper presents a consistent thermomechanical framework for strongly nonlocal continua, a type of generalized media in which a material's response at a point depends on deformat…

On average stress within sub-regions of granular media
Matthew R. Kuhn
The paper concerns computation of average stress within small sub-regions of a larger static granular assembly, where the sub-region's boundary is allowed to pass through the assem…
