Failure in granular materials based on acoustic tensor: a numerical analysis

We investigate localization in granular material with the support of numerical simulations based upon DEM (Distinct Element Method). Localization is associated with a discontinuity in a component of the incremental strain over a plane surface through the condition of the determinant of the acoustic...
