ggplot_simpleshear_contraction: Plot simple shear element with contractive soil

In GJMeijer/soilmech: R functions and plots for Soil Mechanics teaching

Plot simple shear element with contractive soil

Description

Function returns a plot with a simple shear-deformed element filled with soil particles, starting off in a loose state and densifying with deformation

Usage

ggplot_simpleshear_contraction(
  u = 1,
  width = 1,
  n = 4,
  nc = 91,
  crop = TRUE,
  marg = 0.02,
  color_water = "#2a7fff",
  color_soil = "#d3bc5f",
  size_water = 1,
  size_soil = 0.5
)

Arguments

u	relative shear displacement, between 0 (no deformation, loose) and 1 (max deformation, dense)
width	width of the sample relative to its height
n	number of grains to use over the sample height
nc	number of vertices for plotting circles for grains
crop	if 'TRUE', only parts of particles that are present within the element of soil are plotted. If 'FALSE', also the parts of the particles that are sticking out are plotted
marg	plot margins, relative to the height of the soil sample
color_water	color for soil particles
color_soil	color for water
size_water	line thickness for water/soil element
size_soil	line thickness for soil particles

Value

a ggplot object

Examples

ggplot_simpleshear_contraction(u = 0, n = 3)
ggplot_simpleshear_contraction(u = 1, n = 3)
