Numerical Simulation by DDA and the Fabrics Analysis of Two Dimensional Experiment on Coarse Granular Material

Pei Guo, Shao Lin

Abstract

DDA(Discontinuous Deformation Analysis) was used to study the mechanical characteristics of coarse granular material (CGM). The numerical simulation model was found consulting the two Dimensional test of CGM,and the stress-strain curves obtained by the numerical simulation were basically in agreement with the results of laboratory test. It indicates that the numerical simulation is suitable for the mechanical characteristic research of CGM. In addition,the distribution statistic of several fabric elements about interaction between particles was also presented. Some relation between the stress-strain and fabric element change are found after analysis.
