DEM Simulation for the Effect of Rolling Resistance on Shear Band

Article Preview

Abstract:

Three different numerical tests, i.e. no rolling test, free rolling test and rolling resistance test, in the framework of discrete element method (DEM) are carried out to simulate the micro-structure development in shear bands. The rotational angles and effective strain in the specimen under different conditions are given out. By contrast, it can be concluded that the development of shear bands in granular material can be simulated well when the rolling resistance is taken into account in DEM.
