In this paper we propose to construct a mean stress tensor for a granular medium, valid in static and in dynamics, which takes into account the contact reactions and the body forces acting at the grain level. A simple analytical example shows that taking account of inertia forces is essential to ins

A method is proposed for obtaining the equations of an unloading wave in the form of an algebraic polynomial in problems of the dynamics of an elastoplastic rod, in which strain waves propagate with variable velocities both when the stress increases and when it decreases.
## Abstract The propagation of plane waves in an isotropic chiral medium (ICM) is investigated. Simple conditions are derivedβin terms of the constitutive parameters of the ICMβfor the phase velocity to be directed opposite to the direction of power flow. It is demonstrated that phase velocity and
