BEHAVIOUR OF GRANULAR MATERIALS IN RELATION TO THEIR FABRIC DEPENDENCIES
Abstract
The roles of dilatancy and fabric on the behaviour of granular materials are both numerically and experimentally explored for the study of material instability and failure. This investigation has two basic ingredients : namely a stress dilatancy model with microstructural information embedded through a fabric tensor, and an experimental rendition of force transmission and structure in an assembly of 2-D photoelastic disks. In order to highlight …
