Abstract
To examine the capability of rolling resistance to model the effects of particle shape, two sets of samples, composed of binary clumped particles and circular particles with rolling resistance, are tested in DEM simulation. The coefficient of rolling friction is estimated based on the energy dissipation. The effects of rolling resistance and particle shape on the shear strength, deformation behavior and non-coaxiality are compared. The numerical results show that rolling resistance reproduces well the effect of particle shape on the peak strength. However, other macro-properties, such as residual strength, elasticity modulus, poisson’s ratio, dilatancy and non-coaxiality, introduced by rolling resistance both exist certain differences compared with the effect of particle shape. The discrepancies is thought to be due to the increasing compressibility of samples as the particle shape becomes more elongated, which cannot be reproduced by increasing rolling friction.
