A microscopic study on shear mechanism of granular materials by DEM and experiments
Abstract
The experimental results by direct shear box tests and biaxial compression tests on the granular assemblies of aluminium rods are compared with the results of the numerical simulations by the DEM. Based on the good agreement between both results, the shear mechanism of granular materials is considered from the numerical results of interparticle contact angles, interparticle friction angles and interparticle forces.
