Based on 2 nondimensional forms in which only 2 surface roughness parameters are involved, an empirical formula of the improved interaction law is derived by the curve‐fitting technique. The resulting interaction law is incorporated into discrete element modelling to investigate the mechanical response of particle systems with different surface roughness. Numerical simulations are performed to model 1‐dimensional and 3‐dimensional compression tests to explore the macro and micro characteristics of granular particles with surface roughness. The results show that surface roughness makes the initial packing of a particle assembly looser and has a greater influence on looser packed samples as expected, but an assembly with moderate roughness may exhibit a higher strength.
