SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF SILOS WITH DIFFERENT HEIGHT TO DIAMETER RATIOS CONSIDERING GRANULAR MATERIAL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION
Silos are structures that are used for storing different types of granular material. Dynamic behavior of silos under seismic loads is very complex. In this paper seismic behavior of steel silos with different height to diameter ratios is investigated by considering granular material-structure interaction using ABAQUS finite element package. Silo wall is modeled by shell elements and its behavio...
متن کاملEpitaxial growth of ordered and disordered granular sphere packings.
We demonstrate that epitaxy can be used to obtain a wide range of ordered to disordered granular packings by simply changing the deposition flux. We show that a defect-free face-centered-cubic (fcc) monocrystal can be obtained by depositing athermal granular spheres randomly into a container with a templated surface in a gravitational field without direct manipulation. This packing corresponds ...
متن کاملStability and convergence analysis of a dynamics-based collective method for random sphere packing
The simulation of granular materials requires an initial overlap-free packing of spherical particles at high volume packing fractions. In previous work, a dynamics-based collective approach, the Quasi-Dynamics Method (QDM), has been proposed to generate densely distributed spheres in an enclosed container. However, the stability and efficiency of the QDM were not fully addressed. In this paper,...
متن کاملStructural transitions in granular packs: statistical mechanics and statistical geometry investigations
We investigate equal spheres packings generated from several experiments and from a large number of different numerical simulations. The structural organization of these disordered packings is studied in terms of the network of common neighbours. This geometrical analysis reveals sharp changes in the network’s clustering occurring at the packing fractions (fraction of volume occupied by the sph...
متن کاملThe structural origin of the hard-sphere glass transition in granular packing
Glass transition is accompanied by a rapid growth of the structural relaxation time and a concomitant decrease of configurational entropy. It remains unclear whether the transition has a thermodynamic origin, and whether the dynamic arrest is associated with the growth of a certain static order. Using granular packing as a model hard-sphere glass, we show the glass transition as a thermodynamic...
