A novel flexible membrane boundary method based on color function in DEM simulations for triaxial tests of granular materials
This technical note presents a novel flexible membrane algorithm for DEM-based triaxial test simulations. Using color functions to calculate the normal vectors of membrane particles, the algorithm can model mechanical response of flexible membrane under large deformations and curvatures. It also uses imaginary particles to improve calculation accuracy of normal vector nearby high curvature area. After validation based on lab test result, the algorithm effectively reproduces the stress–strain behavior of specimens under triaxial compression, offering a more precise and reliable tool for studying the mechanical response of granular materials.
期刊介绍:
The use of computers is firmly established in geotechnical engineering and continues to grow rapidly in both engineering practice and academe. The development of advanced numerical techniques and constitutive modeling, in conjunction with rapid developments in computer hardware, enables problems to be tackled that were unthinkable even a few years ago. Computers and Geotechnics provides an up-to-date reference for engineers and researchers engaged in computer aided analysis and research in geotechnical engineering. The journal is intended for an expeditious dissemination of advanced computer applications across a broad range of geotechnical topics. Contributions on advances in numerical algorithms, computer implementation of new constitutive models and probabilistic methods are especially encouraged.
