Abstract

We investigate the rheology of granular materials through Discrete Element Model (DEM) simulations of frictional and non- cohesive particles under homogeneous simple shear in the quasi-static regime with and without vibration. In agreement with previous studies, the simulation results for flow configuration without vibration reveal that apparent viscosity is a function of the shear rate with a power law and its exponent is equal -1. For vibrating system, there are two distinct regimes; for high shear rates, there is no effect of vibration on viscosity that follows the power law with an exponent -1 and for low shear rates, the dependence of viscosity on the shear rate is less pronounced and the power law exponent is -0.8.
