The role of microstructure in the incremental behavior of granular materials V. Magnanimo, N. Kumar and S. Luding MSM - University of Twente (NL)
We observe the(often disastrous) MACROSCOPIC behavior • and we want to model it …. • ….how is this related with the MICROSCOPIC structure?
Evolution of microstructure Evolution of the microstructure [Behringer (Duke)]
Evolution of microstructure Inhomogeneity & anisotropy, instabilities & structures, rotations [Luding (UT)]
Experimental background • Triaxial compression samples • prepared with: • dry deposition • moist tamping • Yang, Li and Yang (2008) Geotechnique58(4) 237-248
Coordination number: HISTORY of the sample • Magnanimo et al. (2008) EPL 8134006
Elastic moduli We apply (m = inf)an incremental strain eijand measure the variation in stress sijafter relaxation • Calvetti et al. (2003) RivistaItaliana di Geotecnica 3 • Magnanimo et al. (2008) EPL 81 34006 • Sibille et al. (2009) EJECE 13(2) 187-201

Evolution of stress and fabric Deviatoric fabric Shear Stress Fdev=√3 J2Fc sdev=√3 J2s definition of fabric O.I. Imole et al. KONA (2013), Kumar et al. ActaMechanica (under review)
Elastic moduli We apply purely deviatoricperturbations along the path
How small is small? Small enough before any local rearrangement happens
