Discrete element modelling of material non-coaxiality in simple shear flows

We investigate the quasi-static simple shear flow of a two-dimensional assembly of cohesionless particles using discrete element method (DEM) simulations. We focus on the unsteady flow regime where the solid would experience significant evolution of stresses, mobilised shear strength and dilation. W...
