Micro Parameters Sensitivity of Coarse Grained Material in Mechanics and Deformation Based on PFC3D

Abstract:

In order to study the effects of various parameters on macro-mechanical and deformational characteristics of coarse grained material based on discrete element method, triaxial tests have been conducted. Weighted average assembling method is used to assemble the numerical model based on PFC3D. The ratio of normal and shear stiffness of particles (kn/ks), shearing rate and friction coefficient are chosen as micro parameters to analyze the influential sensitivity. Curves of stress-strain intensity are taken as the mechanical analytic method. The particle rotation field as deformation analysis method is proposed to sort the sensitivity of these parameters in strength and deformation of coarse grained material. The research shows that the parameters have a certain effect on the strength and deformation of coarse grained material. kn/ks has the greatest influence on both. The sensitive list of the strength and deformation hopefully can be discussed with the relevant scholars, which can provide a reference for the adjustment of micro parameters in numerical field.
