4 Motivation The Problem Seismic response of Nuclear Power Plants Soil modeling in particular Linear elastic Equivalent Linear Elastic (current state of practice/art) 3D elastic-plastic modeling Combine frictional (elastic-plastic, displacement proportional) and viscous (velocity proportional) energy dissipation in one model.

5 Micromechanical Origins of Elasto-Plasticity Granular Materials Pressure sensitive materials (particles) Usually assumed to be linear elastic (at least in the NPP field (?!)) Can be (rigorously) shown that as they can never be linear elastic (with normal and/or shear contact forces. R. D. Mindlin and H. Deresiewicz. Elastic spheres in contact under varying oblique forces.
