Granular drag forces under dynamic loadings
This Thesis examines the mechanical response of large objects -called intruders or anchors that are embedded into a granular packing and subjected to dynamic loadings. By using a numerical approach based on a discrete element method, the study focuses on a canonical test comprising a plate-shaped intruder, placed horizontally and being uplifted ...
