Numerical Simulation of Granite on Pre-Stressed Machining by Discrete Element Method (DEM)

Article Preview

Abstract:

The bonded particle model (BPM) of granite for pre-stressed machining is build by using the discrete element method (DEM). This model can not only descript the intergranular fracture behavior but also the transgranular fracture behavior of the granite. The processes of crack propagation under different pre-stressed machining conditions are studied by means of DEM simulation. Damages and cracks of surface/subsurface are also observed. The simulation results show that, while the magnitude of pre-stress is controlled in a certatin range, the number of radial cracks reduce as the increasing of pre-stress magnitude, contray to the transverse cracks. It could be seen that maching damage is decreased and surface quality is improved by applying the pre-stressed machining method, and the discrete element method is an effective way to simulate the machining process of granite.
