摘要

DEM (discrete element method) simulations are carried out to evaluate the small strain stiffness (i.e. Young's modulus and shear modulus) of a granular random pack-ing with focus on the effect of stress ratio (SR). The results show that the Young's modulus in a given direction gener-ally depends on the stress component in that direction. The Young's modulus normalized by the related stress compo-nent remains nearly constant when SR is less than a thresh-old value SR_(th). When SR is larger than SR_(th), the normalized Young's modulus decreases, particularly in the minor princi-ple stress direction. Moreover, the Young's modulus during unloading is always smaller than the one during loading at the same stress state, which indicates that the microstruc-ture of the specimen has been modified by the historical shearing process. The shear modulus mainly depends on the mean effective stress and shows similar evolution trend as the Young's modulus. This study finds that the macroscopic stiffness of the specimen is closely related to the evolutions of particle contact number and contact force during shear-ing. When SR is less than SR_(th), the specimen only adjusts the distribution of contact forces to resist the external load, without any apparent change of contact number. When SR is larger than SR_(th), however, the specimen has to adjust both contact number and contact forces to resist the exter-nal load. The study also illustrates that there is a good rela-tionship between the macroscopic stiffness anisotropy and fabric anisotropy, and therefore the stiffness anisotropy may be used as an indicator of fabric anisotropy.
