The Critical State and the Steady-State solution in Granular Solid Hydrodynamics

The approach to the critical state -- the transition from partially elastic to perfectly plastic behavior -- is considered the most characteristic of granular phenomena in soil mechanics. By identifying the critical state as the steady-state solution of the elastic strain, and presenting the main results as transparent, analytic expressions, the physics of this important phenomenon is clarified.

Granular Solid Hydrodynamics: Dense Flow, Fluidization and Jamming

Granular solid hydrodynamics, constructed to describe quasi-elastic and plastic motion of granular solid, is shown also capable of accounting for the rheology of granular dense flow. This makes it a unified, though still qualitative, hydrodynamic description, enabling one to tackle fluidization and jamming, the hysteretic transition between elasto-plastic motion and uniform dense flow.
