Fractional strain rate and its relation with fractal dimension of granular soils
often suffers from long-term cyclic deformation. Cumulative strains of five different granular soils under different loading conditions are analyzed by using the fractional calculus
and its there exists a fractional strain rate for granular soils subjected to repeated loads. Unlike the traditional integral strain rate which is varying with the load cycles
the fractional strain rate remains constant for a given loading condition. To investigate the physical origin of the fractional approach
fractal breakage theory of granular soils is used. It is found that the fractional strain rate has a strong connection with the corresponding fractal dimension of a given granular soil. It decreases with the increase of the fractal dimension.
