The signature of shear-induced anisotropy in granular media
This paper presents a micro-mechanical study on the characteristics of shear-induced anisotropy in granular media. Based on three-dimensional Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations, the distinct features associated with the evolution of internal granular structure and different anisotropy sources during drained/undrained shearing of granular samples are carefully examined. The study finds th...
متن کاملMorphologies of three-dimensional shear bands in granular media.
We present numerical results on spontaneous symmetry breaking strain localization in axisymmetric triaxial shear tests of granular materials. We simulated shear band formation using the three-dimensional distinct element method with spherical particles. We demonstrate that the local shear intensity, the angular velocity of the grains, the coordination number, and the local void ratio are correl...
متن کاملShear viscosity of a model for confined granular media.
The shear viscosity in the dilute regime of a model for confined granular matter is studied by simulations and kinetic theory. The model consists on projecting into two dimensions the motion of vibrofluidized granular matter in shallow boxes by modifying the collision rule: besides the restitution coefficient that accounts for the energy dissipation, there is a separation velocity that is added...
متن کاملParticle-scale origins of shear strength in granular media
The shear strength of cohesionless granular materials is generally attributed to the compactness or anisotropy of their microstructure. An open issue is how such compact or anisotropic microstructures, and thus the shear strength, depend on the particle properties. We first recall the role of fabric and force anisotropies with respect to the critical-state shear stress. Then, a model of accessi...
متن کاملShear band formation in granular media as a variational problem.
Strain in sheared dense granular material is often localized in a narrow region called the shear band. Recent experiments in a modified Couette cell provided localized shear flow in the bulk away from the confining walls. The nontrivial shape of the shear band was measured as the function of the cell geometry. First, we present a geometric argument for narrow shear bands that connects the funct...
