Abstract

Experimentally measured kinematic fields can provide useful insight into the micromechanical behavior of granular materials. This pa­per presents findings from mixed-boundary biaxial tests on rod assemblies with a focus upon the patterns exhibited by the particle displacement and rotation fields.
