Induced force chain anisotropy of cohesionless granular materials during biaxial compression
Abstract
This paper investigates the induced anisotropy and multi-scale shear characteristics of granular materials by quantifying force chain distribution in two-dimensional specimens of rigid particles under quasi-static loading. A new criterion is proposed and implemented into the existing algorithm which can effectively solve the identification instability of force chains at branching and merging points. Force chain is then classified into three …
