Abstract :
The main task of this research is the study of the behaviour of plane granular media modeled as 2D Cosserat microstructured solids. In our work the study of strain waves may be useful in developing a suitable method in order to estimate the microparameters, since shape, amplitude and velocity of the strain wave can carry information about the microstructure. For this purpose, the most interesting are the waves that keep their shape and velocity on propagation
