The formation of porous media is influenced by a number of factors, including the deposition and fragmentation of particles, which result in the formation of interlayers with varying structures. These interlayers exert a significant influence on the mechanical behavior of porous media. This paper presents a systematic investigation into the influence of the inclination angle and thickness of the interlayer on the mechanical behavior of porous media, employing the discrete element method. The results demonstrate that the stress intensity of porous media containing interlayers is between those of the two homogeneous porous media and varies with changes in the inclination angle and thickness of the interlayers. The average coordination number between grains is found to be significantly affected by the thickness of the interlayer at the beginning of loading, but stabilized at the end of loading. The variation of the coordination number affects the distribution of strong and weak force chains, while the inclination angle and thickness of the interlayer determine the magnitude and direction of stress transfer in the force chains. Furthermore, the contact unit normal force and normal contact force are deflected with the increase of the inclination angle of the interlayer, demonstrating significant anisotropy. This study advances our understanding of the intricate mechanical behavior of porous media containing interlayers in strata, offering invaluable insights for optimization and practical application in geological engineering.
