title: Granular elasticity without the Coulomb condition.
abstract: A self-contained elastic theory is derived which accounts both for mechanical yield and shear-induced volume dilatancy. Its two essential ingredients are thermodynamic instability and the dependence of the elastic moduli on compression.
