Abstract
We present a systematic investigation of the influence of a common sample preparation method (Particle Expansion Method) has on the mechanical and structural properties of granular packings. The method produces distinctively different attributes from natural sedimentary samples, in terms of both the contact force distributions at small forces and the geometric internal ordering. The artificial fabric induced by this technique may pose serious implications in the accurate modelling of granular matter which are often overlooked by DEM users.
