Stresses distributions of sand piles on rough rigid plate

Finite element analyses were performed using the standard finite element method to simulate conical piles of sand laying on a rigid-rough plate. An isotropic elasticity and a Mohr-Coulomb model were used to simulate the mechanical behavior of the sand. Effects of internal friction angle, interface f...
