Diffuse failure in geomaterials: Experiments, theory and modelling (2011, unknown): “We analyse the mechanical behaviour of numerical specimens along proportional strain loading paths deﬁned by [23]: According to the value of R , the path is dilatant (0 < R < 1) or contractant ( R > 1); the undrained condition (i.e. isochoric loading path) corresponds to R = 1.”
Bifurcation in granular materials: An attempt for a unified framework (2009, unknown): “(47) corresponds to a generalized ﬂow rule (the so-called failure rule) in the sense that both strain and stress variables are involved (Darve et al., 2004).”
A micro-mechanical investigation of bifurcation in granular materials (2007, background): “Without changing the external forces applied to the boundary (or to a part of the boundary), the deformation of the system can be pursued, infinitesimally, with no input of energy from the observer (Darve et al., 1995; Darve and Laouafa, 2002; Darve et al., 2004; Darve and Vardoulakis, 2005).”
Micro-mechanical investigation of material instability in granular assemblies (2006, methodology): “Hill s material instability criterion, even if it is not established on a thermodynamical basis, has been widely discussed and used (Nova, 1994; Darve and Laouafa, 2000; Darve et al., 2004).”
