DEM modeling on stress profile and behavior in granular matter
چکیده انگلیسی


- The stress profiles are numerically obtained from both the bottom and within the packings.
- Influences of various factors on stress profiles are systematically studied.
- Janssen constant and friction effects are found to be changeable with the packing depth.
- The mechanism of stress profile formation is discussed from different perspectives.

This paper presents a systematic numerical investigation of static stress profile within a confined granular packing using discrete element method. The vertical and horizontal stress profiles are carefully identified within the packing structure, and the effects of container diameter and friction coefficient on the stress distributions are systematically investigated and analyzed. The results show a quantitative agreement between the vertical stress profile gauged at the bottom and the stress profile calculated within the packing structure. I.e. beyond a hydrostatic region, the static vertical stresses saturate exponentially with the packing depth. A positive correlation between the saturation stress and the container size and a negative correlation with the friction coefficient can be observed. Besides, it is also found that the well-known Janssen coefficient (or Janssen constant) is not a constant value; it decreases asymptotically to a constant with the packing depth, which implies a non-constant friction effects existed between the granular assemblies and the boundaries. And the analysis of contact forces within the packing structure also indicates a stabilized condition beyond the hydrostatic region. It is believed that these findings could develop a comprehensive insight on the stress distribution of granular matter.
