Force chains in a uniaxially compressed static granular matter in 2D
二维颗粒体系单轴压缩形成的力链结构

Granular matter is a large assemblage of dense-packing particles. The interparticle forces are transmitted through heterogeneous chain architecture. The force chains would display different responses as external loading varies,and it would be directly related to the macroscopic mechanical properties of the granular system. Therefore,understanding the properties of force chains is fundamental to the study in granular systems. In this work,we firstly analyzed three characteristic time scales involved in proce...
