| contents | When granular materials of shape-anisotropic grains are sheared in a split-bottom shear cell, a localized shear band is formed with a depression at its center. This effect is closely related to the alignment of the particles with aspect ratio (AR), which, in turn, influences the local packing density, the stress distribution, and the system's overall bulk rheology. Particles with large AR tend to align with the shear direction, which increases the packing density in the shear band and affects rheological properties like stress, macroscopic friction coefficient, and effective viscosity. A scaling law correlates particle AR to macroscopic friction and effective viscosity, revealing shear-thinning behavior in bulk and near the surface. |
