Study on Mechanical Properties of Cement Clinker and Limestone by Hertzian Indentation Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

The recovery resistance, energy dissipation, and other mechanical properties of cement materials are evaluated based on the Hertzian indentation method in this work. It is significant and efficient for engineering application. In results, the calculated energy dissipation of clinker is higher than that of limestone, which can partially be used to explain why the grinding of clinker consumes a lot of energy in cement industry. The recovery resistance for limestone under the peak load of 100N is almost higher than of clinker. However, in contrast to that of 200N, the recovery resistance for limestone is almost identical to that of clinker. It is indicated that the clinker exhibits better plasticity. and greater energy absorption capacity.
