Summary

In this paper we briefly review issues related to the characterization of properties of granular materials subjected to micro-gravity and one-gravity conditions at very low effective stress levels. We describe the development of a three-invariant plasticity model that resembles the model devised by Lade. An inverseidentification scheme where the analysis tools are used to extract constitutive model parameters from experiments is also discussed.

Zusammenfassung

Übersicht: Über Resultate, die mit der Charakterisierung der Eigenschaften von granularen Stoffen in schwachen Schwerefeldern bzw. dem der Erde bei sehr kleinen Spannungen zusammenhängen, wird ein kurzer Überblick gegeben. Beschrieben wird ein mit drei Spannungsinvarianten formuliertes plastisches Stoffgesetz, welches dem von Lade entwickelten Modell ähnlich ist. Weiterhin wird ein inverses Identifikationsschema diskutiert, bei dem mit analytische Methoden benutzt werden, um die Parameter des Stoffmodells zu gewinnen.
