| Using Discrete Element Simulations (DEM), an effort is made to study the so called "Split bottom ring shear cell" where a slow, quasi-static deformation leads to wide shear bands. Density, velocity and deformation gradients as well as structure and stress tensors, can be computed by a single simulation, by applying time and (local) space averaging. Here, we focus on different shear rates by increasing the rate of rotation of the system. |
