摘要: In this paper, we introduce a new scale called the meso-scale in order to define an appropriate local for multi-scale kinematic analysis granular materials. The proposed corresponds sub-domains obtained by subdividing 2D assembly taking into account load-bearing contacts. For each sub-domain, strain tensor is defined and description of its structure proposed. Our analysis, carried out on biaxial compression test, reveals that significantly related at meso-scale: (1) major (respectively, minor) principal direction largest within which are elongated minor major) direction, (2) contractancy takes place whereas dilatancy direction. Furthermore, emphasize relation between induced anisotropy materials during deviatoric loading.
