Review text

This lecture is devoted to the complicated phenomenon of strain localization in granular materials, by taking into account an intense inter-granular slip, which in turn leads to strong dilatancy of the material inside the localized zone. Thus, the process exhibits a non-associate and softening material behaviour, and can be described by a boundary value problem with moving internal elastoplastic boundaries. Here the author gives a detailed review of the contemporary development of localization theory, supplemented by his own investigations. Contents: 1. Introduction; 2. Uniqueness theorems; 3. Localized bifurcations; 4. A second gradient plasticity model for granular media; 5. Regularization of strain softening models. Bibliography: 99 references. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0896.00015].
