The rate-dependent mechanical properties of a specific geomaterial play a crucial role in
engineering design and application. However, there have been very few studies involving …

This paper studies the shear behavior of granular materials by using a three-dimensional
(3D) discrete element method (DEM) simulation of the triaxial test. The experimental triaxial …

This paper aims to study the shear behavior of granular matter by DEM simulations.
Granular samples are prepared by automatic clump generation algorithm to create particles …

Steel silos with corrugated walls are widely used because they allow an increase of the wall
buckling resistance, but corrugations affect the material flow and the forces applied over the …

The triaxial compression test is the most common laboratory test used to measure the
shearing mechanical properties of granular soils. In this paper, a series of numerical drained …

The paper deals with a quasi-static behaviour of cohesion-less granular material in active
earth pressure state. Photo-elastic model tests on a rigid wall, translating out of the granular …

The present study aims to explore and bring out morphological insights into the prior-
liquefaction, liquefaction, and post-liquefaction response of sands with geotextile inclusions …

This work aims to determine a complete set of input parameters of the DEM-FEM coupling
model, which ensures us obtain more realistic simulation results of the tire-terrain …

This paper aims at studying the shear behavior of mixtures of fine and coarse particles by
classical triaxial tests. The work is performed both on experimental tests and computer …

Instabilities in granular material usually initiate at the microscale due to the presence of
internal heterogeneity arising from variation in the particle packing arrangement. The …
