Cyclic loading can densify loose granular soils, as used in vibrocompaction. However, design remains challenging due to complex soil–vibrator interactions and inaccurate modelling of small-strain effects. This study tests Osinov’s hypothesis that densification is mainly driven by repeated small-amplitude strains rather than wave propagation. 
    
Using finite element simulations with a hypoplastic accumulation model and prescribed strain fields, the simplified approach qualitatively reproduces key field observations. It also captures effects of probe spacing, depth, movement, and installation sequence, offering valuable insights to support compaction control.
