Comparison of the effects of rolling resistance and angularity in sheared granular media

In this paper, we compare the effect of rolling resistance at the contacts in granular systems composed of disks with the effect of angularity in granular systems composed of regular polygonal particles. For this purpose, we use contact dynamics simulations. By means of a simple shear numerical device, we investigate the mechanical behavior of these materials in the steady state in terms of she...

Identification of rolling resistance as a shape parameter in sheared granular media.

Using contact dynamics simulations, we compare the effect of rolling resistance at the contacts in granular systems composed of disks with the effect of angularity in granular systems composed of regular polygonal particles. In simple shear conditions, we consider four aspects of the mechanical behavior of these systems in the steady state: shear strength, solid fraction, force and fabric aniso...

Shear Deformation in Granular Material

An investigation into the properties of granular materials is undertaken via numerical simulation. These simulations highlight that frictional contact, a defining characteristic of dry granular materials, and interfacial debonding, an expected deformation mode in plastic bonded explosives, must be properly modeled. Frictional contact and debonding algorithms have been implemented into FLIP, a p...

Prediction of Deformation Resistance of Low Carbon Steels during Hot Rolling

Phenomenological approach to the description of deformation resistance behaviour of steel and its microstructure development under the service hot rolling condition is still the most common useful and powerful. Utilising different experimental equipment such as torsion plastometer [1-5], compression plastometer [6-9], or advanced laboratory mills [10, 11] as well as different deformation techni...
