Particle Scale Anisotropy Controls Bulk Properties in Sheared Granular Materials
Author(s): Carmen L. Lee, Ephraim Bililign, Emilien Azéma, and Karen E. Daniels
The bulk dynamics of dense granular materials arise through a combination of particle-scale and mesoscale effects. Theoretical and numerical studies have shown that collective effects are created by particle-scale anisotropic structures such as grain connectivity, force transmission, and frictional … [Phys. Rev.
