Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Engineering Mechanics

Abstract:

Two-dimensional DEM with modified Mindlin's contact law has been used to study the load transfer mechanisms in 'consolidated' granular assemblies. Results of simulation are presented and effects of prestress and packing on the propagation of waves are examined.
