A mathematical relation is presented for predicting the value of the contact normal plane distribution or the anisotropy parameter “α” (the ratio of the second invariant to the trace of fabric tensor) for granular materials under shearing loads. The changes of the contact normal planes are attributed to the mobilized stress ratio, internal friction angle, fabric principal direction and non-coaxiality...
