Role of Scaling Up Particle Size in Principal Stress Rotation under Simple Shear

Abstract

Abstract The presence of principal stress rotation (PSR) in granular materials is a significant signature for engineering practices such as slopes, caverns, and silos. Multiscale modeling of granular behavior generally features scaled-up particles. Yet, ... Practical Applications The presence of principal stress rotation (PSR) plays a crucial role in the mechanical behavior of granular materials encountered in various engineering applications, such as silos, slopes, and underground caverns. In large-scale ...
