Sample preparation of dense granular materials Influence of void ratio e and coordination number Z* on the mechanical behaviour at failure

This paper presents a Discrete Element Method (DEM) study of assemblies of 5041 frictional discs, with periodic boundary conditions and confined by an external isotropic load. In order to generate samples with different internal state variables like the void ratio and coordination number, we present...
