Abstract:The objectives of this research were: A) To develop expressions relating stress and strain for various arrays of elastic spheres. B) To compute the stress-strain curves of the arrays using the equations developed in A) above for a range of parameters (elastic constants and coefficient of friction), encompassing those which might be expected for actual granular materials. C) To compare the computed or theoretical stress-strain curves to the curves of an actual soil subjected to rapid repetitive loading.
