Abstract
The effect of transverse isotropy on shear localization in cohesionless granular materials is numerically investigated upon monotonous plane strain deformation paths using a hypoplastic constitutive model enhanced by micropolar terms In this model a socalled density function is reformulated and made anisotropic Dense sand specimens under constant lateral pressure are numerically tested for uniform and stochastic distributions of the initial void ratio and for two different mean grain diameters
