An endochronic model has been developed to predict the stress-strain r
esponses of grain en masse. The model uses intrinsic time to trace the
effect of deformation history on the constitutive behaviour of grain
en masse,A stress-based free energy density representation has been pr
oposed to relate strains to stresses. Predicted stress-strain behaviou
r compared well with triaxial test data reported in the literature. (C
