Appendix 1 The Simplified Elastic Plastic CJS Model for 2D Materials
In this work, a simple form of the elastic plastic CJS model [CAM 88a, MAL 00, BAG 11, DUR 15] is used for 2D granular materials. As presented in equation [5.1], the total strain is separated into an elastic part and a plastic part. For the sake of simplicity, a linear elasticity is considered for the modeling of elastic strains. The incremental elastic strain tensor is calculated by Hooke’s law, using a Young’s modulus, E, and a Poisson’s ratio, ν. Plasticity is generated when the stress state reaches the deviatoric yield criterion. Nevertheless, the stress state must be contained within a valid domain of stresses whose boundary is defined by the failure surface, which is isotropic and defined as: f (σ) = sII − Rfail I1 ,
[A1.1]
where Rfail is the radius of the failure surface, sII is the second invariant of the deviatoric part s of the stress tensor √ (sII = sij sij ) and I1 is the first invariant of the stress tensor σ (I1 = σkk ).

The deviatoric plastic mechanism is defined by the following yield criterion, which exhibits the same shape as the failure surface (Figure A1.1): [A1.2]
f (σ, X) = qII − Re I1 , where qII is the norm of tensor q defined by:

In relations [A1.2] and [A1.3], X is a deviatoric tensor associated with the center of the deviatoric yield surface: it defines the anisotropy state of the considered material, Re is the elastic radius which defines the amplitude of the elastic domain and is a model parameter. In this study, this elastic parameter was considered very small since experiments

characteristic surface, which is also an isotropic surface, with the same shape as the failure surface, is written as: f char (σ) = schar II − Rchar I1 ,
[A1.7]
where Rchar is the radius of the characteristic state and is a model parameter. Considering relation [A1.7] contractancy occurs if sII < schar II and dilatancy occurs otherwise. In the initial CJS model the stress ratio curve at the beginning of loading and unloading is not well described. So we have improved the model by considering that the kinematic hardening parameter a at a given state depends on the induced anisotropy X at this state. The parameter a is then defined using the following exponential relationship: a = bec(X1 − X1 ini) ,
[A1.8]
where X1 is the current anisotropy, X1 ini is the initial anisotropy for the considered loading path (e.g loading or unloading) and b and c are two parameters of the kinematic hardening.
