Important Publications Pertaining To Dynamical Systems based Soil Mechanics
Dynamical Systems based Soil Mechanics
Physical basis and validation of a constitutive model for soil shear derived from micro-structural changes (pre-publication of International Journal of Geomechanics paper that provides the physical basis of the soil shear dynamical system.)
Constitutive Model of Soil Based on a Dynamical Systems Approach (pre-publication of ASCE note showing that soil shear can be described as a dynamical system.)
A Dynamical Systems based approach to Soil Shear (pre-publication version of suporting the premise that soil shear can be described as a dynamical system.)
Critical State Soil Mechanics
An evaluation of Critical State Soil Mechanics (A review of Prof. Schofield's new book; its conclusion is an evaluation of CSSM)
