Abstract

Under a microstructural approach for stress-strain modeling, a set of microsystems (e.g. inter-particle contacts) is used to represent the material. Material properties are defined for each microsystem and the overall stress-strain relationship for the material is obtained from averaging the behaviors of this set of microsystems.
