This paper discusses the neglect of micro-mechanics in soil mechanics, and seeks to establish a role that will benefit both the research worker and the practitioner. In support of the mathematical construct of...

A mesh based partition of unity method, known as the manifold method, is used in simulating the evolution of a slope failure. The problem configuration consists of a simple slope that has pre-existing tensile cracks...
