Constitutive equations are derived for a granular flow of disk shaped solids in a 2-dimensional, simple shear field. Binary collisions are assumed to be the major mechanism for momentum transfer. Stresses are computed as the average rate of momentum transfer across a surface due to the interparticle collisions. Stresses are formulated explicitly in terms of the shearing rate, concentration of solids, and the physical properties of the solid constituent. The anisotropic collision distribution on the circumference of the disks due to the mean flow gradient is explicitly quantified. The frictional impact during collisions is treated in sufficient detail so that the singularity which existed in previous constitutive equations is removed.
