FEM modeling of the sandpile dip effect

Previously, it was shown that the pressure “dip” in the stress profile observed at the bottom of sandpiles prepared by successive avalanches can be related with the skewness effect observed inthe stress response of sheared granular layers to a localized vertical overload. Here, we present a FEM stud...
