Abstract
In order to study the dilatancy phenomenon of confined granular assembly under shearing in parallel interface, a parallel-panel shear model is constructed by discrete element method (DEM) in this paper. While the relative motion happens between the upper and lower panels, the panel and particles displacement are monitored. The expansion of upper plate and the change of particles force chain are shown. The results show that: the internal particle system keeps repeating the dilatancy and compression process, and the relationship between shear dilatancy phenomenon and force chain structure is close.
