摘要
The paper presents a series of theoretical developments and numerical experiments directed at quantifying important features of the micromechanical behavior of granular media by introducing average characteristics of fabric anisotropy and certain statistical averages of contact forces. The introduced characteristics are explicitly linked to stress through a stress-force-fabric relationship. Numerical simulations are used to verify this relationship for plane assemblies and to trace the evolution of induced anisotropy in contact orientations and contact forces. It is shown that at large strain the degree of anisotropy in contact orientations achieves some limiting value and the macroscopic angle of friction at large strains can be expressed directly in terms of this value. Effects of the angle of interparticle friction and magnitude of interparticle stiffness on the shear capacity of numerical assemblies at large strain are investigated. © 1990.
