| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project aimed at constructing a statistical mechanics theory of complex granular materials based on the results of state-of-the-art visualization techniques such as x-ray micro CT and low vacuum SEM as well as Discrete Element simulation. In particular, we focused on the effect of grain shape and adhesive force and (1) the relation between particle orientation statistics and the mechanical properties of the bulk material was obtained using x-ray micro CT observation of 3D printing ellipsoid grains of various shape, (2) statistical properties of grain shape-induced clustering was clarified by 2D DEM with elliptic particles, (3) cell stresses acting on the grain cell structure formed in 2D DEM packings were defined and its stress-structure correlation was confirmed, and (4) a SEM observation of submerged clay aggregates under shear was successfully made.
