This paper presents a novel framework of modeling crushable granular materials under mechanical loadings based on the discrete element method (DEM). The framework is featured with the construction of the one-to-one model in which every particle in a physical experiment has its own numerical twin and allows the modeling of irregular …

2.1 Peridynamic modeling of particle crushing. The PD method [22, 23] is employed to simulate crushing of individual particles. The method is a material point-based, non-local method known to be suitable for modeling fracture-related problems in continuum media. ... The same model was applied for modeling crushing of sand …

To smooth and level roads under the pavement. Enhance soil to improve crop growing conditions. Stone fill to support pipes and drainage beds. Protect roofing and reduce the heat from the sun. Prevent ice and water erosion when building bridges. As a buffer layer between concrete and soil.

The original sand grains are flaky- or strip-shaped. They are highly porous and with a grain size of 5–15 mm, as seen in Fig. 1a. The sand is crushed into finer grains under one-dimensional compression with a vertical load of around 10 MPa using a large-scale loading machine, from which grains of a size range of 0.3–0.6 mm is collected by

One common method of crushing the black sand is to pour it into a cement mixer, into which some ball bearings are added to crush the material. Another option that doesn't need as much equipment is to heat up the …

Replacing method does not satisfy mass conservation, while bond method needs careful calibration of inter-particle contact properties to simulate elastic properties, e.g. Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio. ... For example, by quantifying fractured grains from single sand crushing in Zhao et al. (2015), it was found that fragments are ...

The discrete element method (DEM) has been extensively used to study the micro-mechanical behavior of sand subjected to quasi-static strain rates. In most of these …

Grain size distribution tests were performed on the two sands to show the variation in their particle size. Figure 3 shows that HI sand contained coarser particles than BP sand. According to the Unified Classification System (UCS), it can be inferred that the soils are classified as poor-graded sand (SP).The scanning electronic images (SEM) of …

A breakage-dependent bounding surface plasticity model was proposed to capture the influence of particle breakage on the state-dependent stress–strain behaviors for silica and coral sands, and the transition of complex breakage-dependent critical states resulted from the competition between the contraction due to particle breakage and the ...

The results obtained show that it is possible to define a method that allows to represent the crushing rate of the sand grains as a function of the applied loading and to define a coefficient ...
