The void surface, ( x ) ( x ) R, 1 is initially stress free so that T T 1. At a later stage of the deformation a hydrostatic pressure p is applied inside the voids to simulate the effect of crack surface contact in a relatively simple manner. The nominal tractions and their increments on the void surface are T i p ir n, T i p ir p ir n r ir 1 ijk mr g u g u j j km k, m, r : length of the void when it deforms into an ellipsoidal cross-section Vv : 3 void volume per unit length in the x direction w V v / : the average width of the void Then, the average aspect ratio of the void is required to satisfy the inequality w / When there is no particle inside, the void will collapse completely and then the internal pressure could approximately describe frictionless sliding of the opposite void surfaces against each other. 4

If a hydrostatic pressure p was applied inside the voids to simulate the effect of crack surface contact in a relatively simple manner, the nominal tractions on the void surface would be i ir T p n, ir 1 ijk mr g u g u,, r j j km k m : length of the void when it deforms into an ellipsoidal cross-section Vv : 3 void volume per unit length in the x direction w V v / : the average width of the void Then, the average aspect ratio of the void is required to satisfy the inequality w / In the expression due to hydrostatic pressure the traction component perpendicular to the line of length between the two 1 end points of the void is given by ( T sin T cos ) and the component along the length of the void is not included ddhere. i Then the nominal tractions P applied to the void surface are 1 1 P ( T sin T cos )sin 1 P ( T sin T cos ) cos 3 with P. This load satisfies force equilibrium exactly. Small additional loading is applied to exactly satisfy moment equilibrium. Here there is no hydrostatic pressure, since the load components along the elongated void have been neglected to avoid that these components will tend to increase the length of the void. 7
