description The damage caused by landslide disasters is very significant. Among them, landslides after forest fires have been widely concerned by scholars in recent years due to their particular physical and chemical properties. This large-scale shear flow of particulate matter has similarities to fluid systems. However, due to the discontinuity of the particle system, its flow process has significant random characteristics. To investigate the random properties of particle systems, this study conducted a series of ring shear tests on four particle systems. The effects of the particle shape, normal stress, and shear velocity on the systems’ shear rheological features were investigated using experimental data. The particle form has an important effect on the macroscopic properties of the system. In a spherical particle system, the macroscopic friction fluctuation is determined by the friction of the particle surface and the system’s normal stress. The shear velocity has a minor effect on this characteristic. Three elements simultaneously influence the macroscopic friction fluctuation of a breccia particle system: the particle surface friction, system normal stress, and shear velocity. The origins of macroscopic frictional fluctuations in particle systems with various shapes are fundamentally distinct. This study contributes to a better understanding of the causes of particle system fluctuations, and establishes the theoretical foundation for the future development of disaster prevention technology.
