Developments in micromechanical modelling of granular materials
We are honouring the memory of Ioannis Vardoulakis through this special issue of Granular Matter, which is devoted to developments in micromechanical modelling of granular materials. Ioannis Vardoulakis will be forever remembered as an innovative experimentalist, a brilliantmechanician, an enthusiastic scientist, a devoted teacher, and above all an exceptional human being. The impression he mad...
متن کاملCohesive granular materials composed of nonconvex particles.
The macroscopic cohesion of granular materials made up of sticky particles depends on the particle shapes. We address this issue by performing contact dynamics simulations of 2D packings of nonconvex aggregates. We find that the macroscopic cohesion is strongly dependent on the strain and stress inhomogeneities developing inside the material. The largest cohesion is obtained for nearly homogene...
متن کاملMicromechanical-based criteria for the calibration of cohesive zone parameters
This paper presents a new micromechanical model for a collection of cohesive zone models embedded between each mesh of a finite element-type discretization. It aims to forth fully extend the previous linear results of [1] to the calibration of damageable cohesive parameters (cohesive peak stress, critical opening displacement, cohesive energy, etc). The main idea of the approach consists in rep...
متن کاملFracture of a model cohesive granular material.
We study experimentally the fracture mechanisms of a model cohesive granular medium consisting of glass beads held together by solidified polymer bridges. The elastic response of this material can be controlled by changing the cross-linking of the polymer phase, for example. Here we show that its fracture toughness can be tuned over an order of magnitude by adjusting the stiffness and size of t...
متن کاملMicromechanical Model of Wet Granular Material
Landslides are one of the main natural threats for both people and infrastructure in mountainousregions. In most cases, landslides are triggered by the loss of cohesion in a soil due to the increasingwater saturation level after long or intense rainfalls. Only little is known on the triggering of failuresat the microscopic scale due to the limited experimental accessibility and ...
