We performed two-dimensional Molecular Dynamics simulations of cohesive disks under shear. The cohesion between the disks is added by the action of springs between very next neighbouring disks, modelling capillary forces. The geometry of the cell allows disk-disk shearing and not disk-cell wall shearing as it is commonly found in literature. Does a stick-slip phenomenon happen though the upper cover moves at a constant velocity, i.e. with an infinite shearing force? We measured the forces acted by the disks on the upper cover for different shearing rates, as well as the disk velocities as a function of the distance to the bottom of the cell. It appears that the forces measured versus time present a periodic behavior,very close to a stick slip phenomenon, for shearing rates larger than a given threshold. The disks' collective displacements in the shearing cell (back and ahead) is the counterpart of the constant velocity of the upper cover leading to a periodic behavior of the shear stress.
