Multi-field Coupled Constitutive Model for Soils Based on Granular Thermodynamics Theory

This book introduces a groundbreaking multi-field coupled constitutive model framework for unsaturated soils, rooted in the theory of thermodynamics of granular materials. By exploring the intricate energy dissipation processes at the granular level, this book offers a fresh perspective on the behavior of soils, moving beyond traditional models that rely on yield criteria and flow rules. Instead, it delves into the concepts of granular entropy and granular temperature, providing a comprehen...
