Simulation of Coal Mechanical Characteristics with Discrete Element Method

Abstract:

Base on the parallel-bond model in PFC2D(Particle Flow Code in two Dimension) used to describe the contact between coal micro-particles, DEM(Discrete Element Method) model of coal has been established, so that the coal uniaxial compression test could be investigated. By comparing the simulation result and experimental result, it is clear that DEM is suitable to simulate the mechanical characteristics and failure mode of coal. The effects of micro-parameters on the constitutive behaviors of coal simulation sample are discussed, they can provide basis for designing DEM model of other analogous coals with differenet mechanical characteristics. The microparameters of coal DEM model obtained in simulation test could be a guilding role for further developing the applicability of the DEM in coal mining, crushing and some other aspects.
