...N. Mehraeen; G. A. Narsilio; A. F. Rotta Loria Granular materials, widespread in natural and engineered systems, are constantly subjected to cyclic temperature variations. Experimental and numerical evidence has demonstrated the existence of ‘terminal states’ in granular materials subjected...

...-element (DEM) virtual biaxial tests on a dense granular material. The strategy involves the initial calibration of the conventional model parameters based on stress–strain relations and shear band inclination, followed by subsequent calibration of the strain-softening parameters and length scale parameter...

...Ilija Vego; Vincent Richefeu; Georgios Felekis; Alessandro Tengattini; Gioacchino Viggiani The response of granular materials is significantly affected by the stiffness of the particles that constitute them. This stiffness can evolve and the particles can exhibit strong inter-granular strain. While...
