“…Eringen (1970) and Nowacki (1966)developed the linear theory of micropolar thermoelasticity which are known as micropolar coupled thermoelasticity to include thermal effects. Goodman and Cowin (1972) established a continuum theory for granular materials, whose matrix material (or skeletal) is elastic and interstices are voids and they introduced the concept of distributed body, which represents a continuum model for granular materials (sand, grain, powder, etc) as well as porous materials (rock, soil, sponge, pressed powder, cork, etc.). Nunziato and Cowin (1979), developed the non-linear theory of elastic materials with void, underlying the basic concept that the bulk density of the material is written as the product of two fields, the density field of the matrix material and the volume fraction field (the ratio of volume occupied by grains to the bulk volume at a point of the material) Kumar and Gupta (2010)].…”
