N2 - This paper gives a review of some newly developed stochastic methods for analysis of the effects of granular materials' randomness at the microscale on their response at the macroscale. Two problem areas are discussed: i) determination of constituitve laws for a wide class of materials with random microstructures, ii) wavefront propagation in random continuous and heterogenous media. Techniques in both areas take advantage of results in mechanics of microstructures and methods of random processes and fields.
