Force, relative-displacement, and work networks in granular materials subjected to quasistatic deformation.
To describe the heterogeneous nature of stress transmission in granular materials, the concept of the "strong" network consisting of contacts with large normal forces has been proposed by Radjaï [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 61 (1998)]. The shear stress is mainly determined by this strong network. The dual viewpoint is adopted here, by not only considering the forces at contacts, but also the deformati...
متن کاملThe nature of quasistatic deformation in granular materials
Strain in granular materials in quasistatic conditions under varying stress originate in (I) contact deformation and (II) rearrangements of the contact network. Depending on sample history and applied load, either mechanism might dominate. One may thus define rheological regimes I and II accordingly. Their properties are presented and illustrated here with discrete numerical simulation results ...
متن کاملHow granular materials deform in quasistatic conditions
Based on numerical simulations of quasistatic deformation of model granular materials, two rheological regimes are distinguished, according to whether macroscopic strains merely reflect microscopic material strains within the grains in their contact regions (type I strains), or result from instabilities and contact network rearrangements at the microscopic level (type II strains). We discuss th...
متن کاملDiscrete numerical simulation, quasistatic deformation and the origins of strain in granular materials
Systematic numerical simulations of model dense granular materials in monotonous, quasistatic deformation reveal the existence of two different régimes. In the first one, the macroscopic strains stem from the deformation of contacts. The motion can be calculated by purely static means, without inertia, stress controlled or strain rate controlled simulations yield identical smooth rheological cu...
متن کاملFabric and Deformation in Granular Materials
The paper presents results of numerical experiments on a large assembly of smooth circular disks. The assembly was subjected to quasi-static biaxial loading at small to moderate strains by using the Discrete Element Method. Unlike the usual particle-based and coordination number approaches, the fabric was locally measured in relation to the shapes and orientations of voids. Deformation was meas...
