Liquid migration in sheared unsaturated granular media
We show how liquid migrates in sheared unsaturated granular media using a grain scale model for capillary bridges. Liquid is redistributed to neighboring contacts after rupture of individual capillary bridges leading to redistribution of liquid on large scales. The liquid profile evolution coincides with a recently developed continuum description for liquid migration in shear bands. The velocit...
متن کاملInfluence of polydispersity on micromechanics of granular materials.
We study the effect of polydispersity on the macroscopic physical properties of granular packings in two and three dimensions. A mean-field approach is developed to approximate the macroscale quantities as functions of the microscopic ones. We show that the trace of the fabric and stress tensors are proportional to the mean packing properties (e.g., packing fraction, average coordination number...
متن کاملMultilaminate Elastoplastic Model for Granular Media
A multilaminate based model capable of predicting the behavior of granular material on the basis of sliding mechanisms and elastic behavior of particles is presented. The capability of the model to predict the behavior of sand under arbitrary stress paths is examined. The influences of rotation of the direction of principal stress axes and induced anisotropy are included in a rational way witho...
متن کاملMicromechanics of Undrained Response of Dilative Granular Media 1 Using a Coupled DEM - LBM Model : A Case of Biaxial Test
16 In this paper the Discrete Element Method (DEM) is coupled with the Lattice-Boltzmann 17 Method (LBM) to model the undrained condition of dense granular media that display significant 18 dilation under highly confined loading. DEM-only models are commonly used to simulate the 19 micromechanics of an undrained specimen by applying displacements at the domain boundaries 20 so that the specimen...
متن کاملThermodynamics of Granular Media
A thermodynamic formulation for moving granular material is proposed. The fluctuations due to the constant flux and dissipation of energy are controlled in a " granular " ensemble by a pressure ℘ (" compression ") which is conjugate to a contact volume (" contactopy "). The corresponding response function (" dissipativity ") describes how dissipation increases with ℘ and should serve to identif...
