细长颗粒堆积的应力-应变行为和几何特性

Stress-strain behavior and geometrical properties of packings of elongated particles

Émilien Azema, Farhang Radjaï

摘要:

采用接触动力学方法,数值分析了颗粒伸长对剪切颗粒介质准静态行为的影响。颗粒形状是以其伸长为特征的圆帽矩形。分析了几种填料在双轴压缩下的宏观和微观结构特性随颗粒伸长的变化规律。我们发现,剪切强度是一个增加的线性函数的伸长率。执行添加剂分解的应力张量的谐波近似的角度依赖的分支向量,接触法线和力的基础上,我们表明,增加动员的摩擦力和相关的各向异性的颗粒伸长的关键影响。这些效应与倾向于垂直于主要主应力方向取向并形成侧边接触的颗粒的部分非线性有序化相关。然而,力的传输被发现主要是由帽侧接触,这代表了最长的颗粒接触的最大部分引导。另一个有趣的发现是,与剪切强度相反,固体分数首先随着颗粒伸长而增加,但随着颗粒变得更长而下降。同样值得注意的是,配位数并不遵循这种趋势,因此更长的颗粒的堆积更松散,但连接更牢固。

英文摘要:

We present a numerical analysis of the effect of particle elongation on the quasistatic behavior of sheared granular media by means of the Contact Dynamics method. The particle shapes are rounded-cap rectangles characterized by their elongation. The macroscopic and microstructural properties of several packings subjected to biaxial compression are analyzed as a function of particle elongation. We find that the shear strength is an increasing linear function of elongation. Performing an additive decomposition of the stress tensor based on a harmonic approximation of the angular dependence of branch vectors, contact normals and forces, we show that the increasing mobilization of friction force and the associated anisotropy are key effects of particle elongation. These effects are correlated with partial nematic ordering of the particles which tend to be oriented perpendicular to the major principal stress direction and form side-to-side contacts. However, the force transmission is found to be mainly guided by cap-to-side contacts, which represent the largest fraction of contacts for the most elongated particles. Another interesting finding is that, in contrast to shear strength, the solid fraction first increases with particle elongation, but declines as the particles become more elongated. It is also remarkable that the coordination number does not follow this trend so that the packings of more elongated particles are looser but more strongly connected.
