Abstract

Granular materials in a split-bottom ring shear cell geometry show wide shear bands under slow, quasi-static deformation. From discrete element simulations (DEM), continuum fields like the deformation gradient and stress can be computed with the goal to formulate objective constitutive relations for the flow behavior. From a single simulation only, by applying time- and (local) space-averaging, yield loci can be obtained: linear for noncohesive granular materials and non-linear with peculiar pressure dependence for adhesive powders.
