Stick-slip dynamics of a granular layer under shear.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stick-slip regime of shear granular flows is studied theoretically and numerically. Numerical experiments are carried out for a thin Couette cell using soft-particle molecular dynamics code in two dimensions. We apply order parameter theory of partially fluidized granular flows and find a good agreement with simulations and experiments by Nasuno et al.

Force chains in seismogenic faults visualized with photoelastic granular shear experiments
[1] Natural faults have many characteristics in common with granular systems, including granular fault rocks, shear localization, and stick-slip dynamics. We present experimental results which provide insight into granular behavior in natural faults. The experiments allow us to directly image force chains within a deforming granular media through the use of photoelastic particles. The experimen...
متن کاملMicroscopic and macroscopic aspects of stick-slip motion in granular shear.
An annular shear cell has been used to investigate a number of factors known to influence stick-slip motion in an assembly of near monosized, spherical glass beads. In this paper, both the sample shear stress and volumetric strain were recorded, allowing new insights into the possible mechanics of stick-slip motion in a granular body. Rather than the commonly presented mechanism of sample dilat...
متن کاملPotential for earthquake triggering from transient deformations
[1] We report on laboratory experiments in which stick-slipping shear surfaces are subject to transient stressing to simulate earthquake triggering by seismic waves. Granular layers and bare granite surfaces were sheared in a servo-controlled deformation apparatus in double-direct shear. The seismic waves from an earthquake and tectonic load were simulated by superimposing a loading rate sinuso...
متن کاملInfluence of particle characteristics on granular friction
[1] We report on laboratory experiments designed to illuminate grain-scale deformation mechanisms within fault gouge. We vary particle size distribution, grain and surface roughness, and gouge layer thickness to better understand how grain sliding, rolling, dilation, and compaction affect the strength and stability of granular fault gouge. The experiments employed the double direct shear testin...
متن کاملBoundary conditions and event scaling of granular stick-slip events
We describe experiments on stick-slip failure of a granular material within a linear shear cell. The experiments are performed in a quasi-two-dimensional photoelastic granular material which is sheared via a slider block and spring moving at a constant velocity. The apparatus can provide either constant-volume or constant dP/dV boundary conditions on the aggregate, and we observe boundary-condi...
