Abstract
Textile fabrics and 2D granular media can be modelled by means of non-classical nonlinear elasticity, in particular using the theory of vectorial microstructures. The field equations are obtained via a variational principle and suitable constitutive relations are given in both cases. The microstructure takes into account the micro-ondulation of the fibres in textiles and the grains in granular media.
