Viscoplastic Analysis of Mixed Polygonal Granular Material

Abstract:

In this paper, a series of mixed visco-plastic analyses for assembles of three types of asphalt are made using finite element method. Governing equations are derived for motion and deformation for particles, including coupling of rigid body motion and deformation for deformable bodies. Nonlinear viscous analysis is made for the assemblies using an implicit discrete element method. Among particles, three different contact types, cohering, rubbing and sliding, are taken into account. The numerical model is applied to simulate the compaction of aggregates consisting of mixed particles of different nonlinear viscous incompressible material. After minor modification, the application of the proposed numerical model to industry is possible.
