Abstract
We study the effect of particle friction and cohesion on the steady-state shear stress and the contact anisotropy of a granular assembly sheared in a split-bottom ring shear cell. For non-cohesive frictional materials, the critical state shear stress first increases and then saturates with friction. The contact number density is found to decrease monotonically, while the anisotropy of the contact network saturates after an initial increase. For cohesive powders, the relation between shear stress and confining pressure becomes non-linear. Interestingly the contact number density stays almost unaffected, while the structural anisotropy decreases with increasing cohesion, hinting at a redistribution of the network with almost constant contact number density.
