Abstract
The softening effect has been widely accepted as the fundamental mechanical property of the granular materials, which underlies some specific phenomena such as fluidization during vibration. In this paper, a series of resonance column experiments are performed to observe the modulus softening of granular materials. A statistical softening model is subsequently proposed and its applicability is verified through a quantitative analysis of the variation of the normalized modulus by changing the external confining pressure. The average potential energy in grain contact has been found to be a power-law scaling with grain size. An evolution model is further implemented to account for the experimental findings on the evolution of modulus of the granular system subjected to different confining pressures. The modulus evolution, including softening and recovery, can be captured by the unified evolution model.
期刊介绍：
Although many phenomena observed in granular materials are still not yet fully understood, important contributions have been made to further our understanding using modern tools from statistical mechanics, micro-mechanics, and computational science.
These modern tools apply to disordered systems, phase transitions, instabilities or intermittent behavior and the performance of discrete particle simulations.
>> Until now, however, many of these results were only to be found scattered throughout the literature. Physicists are often unaware of the theories and results published by engineers or other fields - and vice versa.
The journal Granular Matter thus serves as an interdisciplinary platform of communication among researchers of various disciplines who are involved in the basic research on granular media. It helps to establish a common language and gather articles under one single roof that up to now have been spread over many journals in a variety of fields. Notwithstanding, highly applied or technical work is beyond the scope of this journal.
