Abstract
The behaviour of granular materials especially under dynamic loading has been under investigation for years. In recent years, the advancing computer technology makes it possible to model complicate behaviour under different loadings. In this review paper, major advances and researches in the field of providing conceptual model for behaviour of granular materials have been reviewed. The reviewers have tried to categorise the researches in term of their approach to modelling the mechanical behaviour of granular materials and then identify the gaps to provide ground for the future researches.
