Microscopic and macroscopic strains in a dense collection of rigid particles. (Déformations microscopiques et macroscopique dans un assemblage dense de particules rigides.) (French. Abridged English version) Zbl 0923.73005
Summary: We study granular media from the homogenization theory point of view. The main interest is to establish rigorously the relationship between microscopic and macroscopic kinematic variables in a dense collection of rigid particles.
