    Abstract

    Particulate systems like powders, soil or granular matter are discrete, disordered systems displaying dynamic and static, fluid - and solid-like states. The transients between fluid - and solid-like behavior can be intermittent and sometimes both states coexist in steady-state. Bridging the gap between the particulate, microscopic picture (velocities, forces) on the particle scale and their continuum description (strain and stress) via a so-called micro-macro transition is the goal of this paper. The generalized local constitutive relation for the stress in critical state granular flows involves not only density and strain rate but also the jamming-density and the granular temperature.
