The change of scale is known to be a very interesting way to improve the modelling of mechanical behavior granular materials. In the past, studies have been proposed using a micro-scale at the grain level to perform change of scale, but limitations have been proven for these approaches. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDefinition and analysis of the phases are detailed, constituted by sets of meso-domains sharing the same texture characteristics. The authors propose a local constitutive model for the phases, allowing the constitutive model of the representative elementary volume to be definied from a change-of-scale approach and, finally, presenting the validation of obtained modeling on cyclic loadings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProposes a new way for developing an efficient change of scale—considering a meso-scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores local meso-domains and texture characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefines meso-strain and stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalyzes the evolution of these variables and texture characteristics in relation to the applied loading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119323398384,"sku":"9780081010778","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780081010778_p0.jpg?v=1763638491","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780081010778","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
