For small strains a thermodynamic continuous model of the TexSol including the unilaterality of the wire network is postulated. This model is described by two potentials which depend on some internal variables and a state variable either strain or stress tensor (the choice of this last one gives two different ways of identification). The TexSol continuous model is implemented in a finite element code to retrieve the mechanical behaviour given by discrete element numerical experiments. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-00724461/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-00724461/file/texsol_continuous.pdf %L hal-00724461 %U https://hal.science/hal-00724461 %~ CNRS %~ LMGC %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM-2015-2021
