For many problems in science and engineering it is necessary to describe the emerging macro-scale behavior of materials formed of a very large number of grains by accounting for the micro-scale phenomena. Classical continuum theory is unable to take into account the effects of complex kinematics and distribution of elastic energy. The presentation will illustrate how to use the granular micromechanics approach to derive microstructure informed continuum models.
