The effect of friction on wide shear bands
نویسنده
چکیده
Frictional and frictionless granular materials in a split-bottom ring shear cell geometry show wide shear bands under slow, quasi-static deformation. Here, the differences between frictional and frictionless materials are elaborated using discrete element simulations (DEM). Several continuum fields like the density, the velocity field, the deformation gradient and the stress are used here for comparison. Interestingly, the shear stress intensity, i.e., the shear stress divided by the pressure, is approximately constant throughout the wide shear band, as long as the strain rate is large enough – indicating a Mohr-Coulomb type yield stress fluid. The “viscosity”, i.e., the shear stress divided by the strain rate, is increasing with the pressure – which is proportional to the contact number density. Furthermore, the viscosity is inversely proportional to the non-dimensional strain-rate – indicating shear softening behavior inside the wide shear bands.

Continuum approach to wide shear zones in quasistatic granular matter.
Slow and dense granular flows often exhibit narrow shear bands, making them ill suited for a continuum description. However, smooth granular flows have been shown to occur in specific geometries such as linear shear in the absence of gravity, slow inclined plane flows and, recently, flows in split-bottom Couette geometries. The wide shear regions in these systems should be amenable to a continu...
متن کاملConstitutive Relations of Dense Granulates with Friction and Adhesion from Dem
Granular materials in a split-bottom ring shear cell geometry show wide shear bands under slow, quasi-static deformation. From discrete element simulations (DEM), continuum fields like the deformation gradient and stress can be computed with the goal to formulate objective constitutive relations for the flow behavior. From a single simulation only, by applying timeand (local) space-averaging, y...
متن کاملShear bands in granular flow through a mixing length model
Abstract. We discuss the advantages and results of using a mixing-length, compressible model to account for shear banding behaviour in granular flow. We formulate a general approach based on two function of the solid fraction to be determined. Studying the vertical chute flow, we show that shear band thickness is always independent from flowrate in the quasistatic limit, for Coulomb wall bounda...
متن کاملبررسی عددی تأثیر خصوصیات خاک بر باندهای برشی
In some natural events such as soil failure the deformations are localized in narrow restrictions, which are called shear bands. This event which is a fundamental phenomenon in granular material, has been widely investigated during recent decades within expensive experimental tests and also some numerical simulations. Most of previously used numerical methods are based on continuum theories des...

In this paper experimentally, the friction-stir welding of the polypropylene sheets with 40% glass fiber has been investigated. Comparison to other welding methods, the strength of the joint is the most important feature in this process. Many parameters such as tool geometry, rotational speed, linear velocity, and tilt angle are very important as input parameters in this type of welding. Theref...
