Abstract

In this study, a numerical Discrete-Element-Modeling (DEM) model was created to analyze a displacement field to identify the shear behavior in a granular media. The resultant shear stress/normal stress ratio was compared to findings reported in the available literature to validate the DEM model. The simulation model's displacement field enabled analysis of the mechanical properties of the granular medium. Exploring the mechanical behavior of granular media under various boundary conditions and/or loadings may be helpful with the DEM model.
