报告摘要：

   Granular material consists of individual particles to form an assembly. Shearing resistance develops through frictional contact between particles. Unlike a clayey soil in which the density of the material can only be changed through compression, the density of a granular material can be altered by rearranging particles through vibration.  This results in different friction, and hence shearing resistance, of a granular material.  The basic characteristics of a granular material will be discussed in this seminar. The development of constitutive models that capture these characteristic will be presented.  The effect of vibration on the shearing resistance of granular material will also be discussed.
