Abstract
The finite-discrete element method (FDEM) can be used to simulate brittle materials such as polycrystalline ice with specific geometric information. However, most previous studies treat ice as intact and nonporous, ignoring the effect of internal porosity. In this study, an FDEM model of polycrystalline ice with specific porosity is built by using the cohesive interface element and the method of randomly deleting elements. Comparison with experimental results confirms that the model can capture the strength properties and deformation patterns of polycrystalline ice. The fracture failure patterns and mechanical responses of ice specimens and their relationships with porosity are investigated by uniaxial compression tests and Brazilian splitting tests. The results show that with increasing porosity, the fracture failure patterns of the specimens in the uniaxial compression test evolve into three types: global shear failure, local shear failure and local tensile‒shear failure. There is no obvious difference in the failure patterns of the specimens in the Brazilian splitting test. In addition, as the porosity increases, the material exhibits a transition from brittleness to ductility, and the porosity also affects the local fragmentation characteristics inside the polycrystalline ice, significantly weakening the strength of the specimens.
期刊介绍：
Although many phenomena observed in granular materials are still not yet fully understood, important contributions have been made to further our understanding using modern tools from statistical mechanics, micro-mechanics, and computational science.
These modern tools apply to disordered systems, phase transitions, instabilities or intermittent behavior and the performance of discrete particle simulations.
>> Until now, however, many of these results were only to be found scattered throughout the literature. Physicists are often unaware of the theories and results published by engineers or other fields - and vice versa.
The journal Granular Matter thus serves as an interdisciplinary platform of communication among researchers of various disciplines who are involved in the basic research on granular media. It helps to establish a common language and gather articles under one single roof that up to now have been spread over many journals in a variety of fields. Notwithstanding, highly applied or technical work is beyond the scope of this journal.
