    Abstract

    Sets of rosettes of stress probes have been performed on Hostun sand in a flexible boundary true triaxial apparatus. These have shown the effect of stress history on the local distortional stiffness of the sand. Histories have included isotropic compression, and deviatoric paths with increasingly complex shapes.
    These tests were performed and interpreted against a background of kinematic hardening and bounding surface plasticity, using stress response envelopes to reveal evolving distortional stiffness. Use of response envelopes to study volumetric stiffness appears to be less helpful but the phase transformation surfaces that can be extracted seem somewhat independent of recent stress history.
