Abstract
Particle gradation effect on the shear-dilatancy of granular soils was studied through a series of drained triaxial tests using the discrete element and finite difference methods (PFC3D-FLAC3D). Spherical particles with different coefficients of uniformity Cu and median particle sizes D50 were assembled to exclude the strong size-shape correlation in natural sands. Four groups of Cu and four groups of D50 at the same void ratio ec prior to shearing, and seven more groups with the same void ratio e0 prior to isotropic compression were tested. Various mechanical behaviors were analyzed, including the stress–strain response, the stress-dilatancy response, friction angle, and fabric anisotropy. Cu significantly influences the peak friction angle, the maximum dilation angle, and the anisotropies of normal contact force and contact normal, whereas these are almost independent of D50. The contribution of the maximum rate of dilation to the excess friction angle is largely independent of Cu and D50 for spherical particles.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Advanced Powder Technology is to meet the demand for an international journal that integrates all aspects of science and technology research on powder and particulate materials. The journal fulfills this purpose by publishing original research papers, rapid communications, reviews, and translated articles by prominent researchers worldwide.
The editorial work of Advanced Powder Technology, which was founded as the International Journal of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan, is now shared by distinguished board members, who operate in a unique framework designed to respond to the increasing global demand for articles on not only powder and particles, but also on various materials produced from them.
Advanced Powder Technology covers various areas, but a discussion of powder and particles is required in articles. Topics include: Production of powder and particulate materials in gases and liquids(nanoparticles, fine ceramics, pharmaceuticals, novel functional materials, etc.); Aerosol and colloidal processing; Powder and particle characterization; Dynamics and phenomena; Calculation and simulation (CFD, DEM, Monte Carlo method, population balance, etc.); Measurement and control of powder processes; Particle modification; Comminution; Powder handling and operations (storage, transport, granulation, separation, fluidization, etc.)
