Abstract

In this paper, the microphysical aspects leading to the occurrence of a localized failure were investigated by examining the initial emergence of ubiquitous potential slip planes and their link to the shear band development. A Discrete Element Model (DEM) representing a dense granular assembly was considered and subjected to a biaxial compression such that it undergoes localized failure into a persistent shear band. The paper includes both energetic and meso-structural analyses based on so-called minimal closed loops.
