Title: Flow of granular solids: 3-dimensional, discrete-particle computer modeling of uniform shear

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5054421

The objective of this research is to develop an understanding for, and an ability to predict, the flow behavior of granular solids. In FY86 our major aim was to extend our successful two-dimensional computer models to three-dimensions and utilize these new models to study the rheology of assemblies of inelastic, frictional spheres in steady shearing flow.
