Rheology and Structure of Model Smectite Clay: Insights From Molecular Dynamics

Z.‐Y. Lin,
T. Hatano

Abstract: The low frictional strength of smectite minerals, such as montmorillonite, is thought to play a critical role in controlling the rheology and the stability of clay‐rich faults. In this study, we perform molecular dynamics simulations on a model clay system. Clay platelets are simplified as oblate ellipsoids interacting via the Gay‐Berne potential. We study the rheology and structural development during shear in this model system, which is sheared at constant strain rates for 10 strains after compression and eq… Show more
