This study investigates the microstretch continuum modeling of granular assemblies while accounting for both the dilatant and rotational degrees of freedom of a macroelement. By introducing the solid volume fraction and the gyration radius of a granular system, the balance equations of the microstretch continuum are transformed into a new formulation of evolution equations comprising six variables: the solid volume fraction, the gyration radius, the velocity field, the averaged angular velocity, the rate of gyration radius, and the internal energy. The bulk microinertia density, the averaged angular velocity, and the microgyration tensor at a macroscopic point are obtained in terms of discrete physical quantities. The bulk part and the rotational part of the microgyration tensor are proposed as the two indices to measure the local dilatancy and local rotation of granular assemblies. It is demonstrated in the numerical simulation that the two indices can be used to identify the shear band evolution in a granular system under a biaxial compression. 相似文献

This study presents a derivation of the Goodman–Cowin (GC) equation using the microcontinuum field theory. Through the decomposition
of various microcontinuum field quantities into the straining, dilatant, and rotational parts, a microcontinuum can be classified
into seven subclasses. One of the subclasses, called a microdilatation continuum, is introduced when only the dilatant motion
in a macroelement is taken into account. The balance equation of equilibrated force in the GC theory can be derived while
introducing the equilibrated intrinsic body force in the energy balance equation of the microdilatation continuum. The internal
length of granular materials, appearing in the modified GC equation, is interpreted as the gyration radius of a macroelement.
This study also obtains the evolution equation of the internal length from the microcontinuum point of view.

In the present work we treat granular materials as mixtures composed of a solid and a surrounding void continuum, proposing
then a continuum thermodynamic theory for it. In contrast to the common mass-weighted balance equations of mass, momentum,
energy and entropy for mixtures, the volume-weighted balance equations and the associated jump conditions of the corresponding
physical quantities are derived in terms of volume-weighted field quantities here. The evolution equations of volume fractions,
volume-weighted velocity, energy, and entropy are presented and explained in detail. By virtue of the second law of thermodynamics,
three dissipative mechanisms are considered which are specialized for a simple set of linear constitutive equations. The derived
theory is applied to the analysis of reversible and irreversible compaction of cohesionless granular particles when a vertical
oscillation is exerted on the system. In this analysis, a hypothesis for the existence of a characteristic depth within the
granular material in its closely compacted state is proposed to model the reversible compaction. 相似文献

We have derived a stress–strain relationship for viscoelastic materials undergoing damage using a granular micromechanics approach. This approach assumes the material to possess a granular meso-structure such that the material is treated as a discrete or a particulate system. By considering the particle kinematics in terms of Taylor series expansion, a continuum model of the discrete system is obtained. The material rate-dependence and damage are modeled by assuming appropriate inter-granular force–displacement relationships that satisfy thermodynamic constraints. The advantage of this micromechanical approach is that the resultant continuum model retains the discrete nature by incorporating the effect of nearest neighbor grain interactions through the inter-granular force–displacement relationship and orientation vector. As a result, the derived model has the ability to predict a number of material phenomena, such as loading-induced anisotropy, dilation or pressure sensitivity, and secondary creep, which often manifest due to material granularity. 相似文献

Electromagnetic fields address configurational forces in a natural way through an energy–stress tensor, which reduces to the Maxwell tensor in the simplest case. This tensor is related to physical forces and to the Cauchy traction in a continuum. Material forces, as opposed to physical forces, are of a different nature as they act upon a site of a continuum where the possible material inhomogeneity is located. A material energy–stress tensor, which is reminiscent of the Maxwell stress, is associated with these forces. Through appropriate balance laws, a material momentum is also associated with material forces. The material momentum is of particular interest in electromagnetic materials as it is intimately related to the pseudomomentum of light [Peierls in Highlights of Condensed Matter Physics, pp. 237–255 (1985) and in Surprises in Theoretical Physics, pp. 91–99 (1979); Thellung in Ann. Phys. 127, 289–301 (1980)]. The balance law for the material momentum can be derived either from the classical physical laws or independently of them. This derivation, which is based on the material electromagnetic potentials and the related gauge transformations, is discussed and commented on for an electromagnetic body. 相似文献

A granular medium can be treated as an equivalent continuum. Appropriate representative stresses can be derived from the virtual work principle. However, the expression of virtual work is not unique and therefore may lead to different results of stress expressions in terms of discrete quantities—contact forces, contact moments, and branch vectors. In this paper, we introduced a generalized expression of virtual work that includes the restriction of boundary conditions. To show the advantages of the current expression, the virtual work expression is applied to derive expressions for stress, couple stress, a higher-order stress, and the stress moment. A distinction is made between the average stress within a granular volume and the representative stress that is conjugate with the representative strain of the volume. The current work is compared with that of [International Journal of Solids and Structures 38 (2) (2001) 353–367], and the current stress expressions are shown to satisfy three essential conditions of a stress measure. 相似文献

The main goal of this work consists in the elaboration of the material or rather configurational mechanics in the context of multiplicative elastoplasticity. This nowadays well-established approach, which is inherently related to the concept of a material isomorphism or in other words to a local rearrangement, is adopted as a paradigm for the general modelling of finite inelasticity. The overall motion in space is throughout assumed to be compatible and sufficiently smooth. According to the underlying configurations, namely the material and the spatial configuration as well as what we call the intermediate configuration, different representations of balance of linear momentum are set up for the static case. The underlying flux terms are thereby identified as stress tensors of Piola and Cauchy type and are assumed to derive from a free energy density function, thus taking hyperelastic formats. Moreover, the incorporated source terms, namely the configurational volume forces, are identified by comparison arguments. These quantities include gradients of distortions as well as dislocation density tensors. In particular those dislocation density tensors related to the elastic or plastic distortion do not vanish due to the general incompatibility of the intermediate configuration. As a result, configurational volume forces which are settled in the intermediate configuration embody non-vanishing dislocation density tensors while their material counterparts directly incorporate non-vanishing gradients of distortions. This fundamental property enables us to recover the celebrated Peach–Koehler force for finite inelasticity, acting on a single dislocation, from the intermediate configuration volume forces. 相似文献

Formulation of a stress–strain relationship is presented for a granular medium, which is modeled as a first-order strain-gradient continuum. The elastic constants used in the stress–strain relationship are derived as an explicit function of inter-particle stiffness, particle size, and packing density. It can be demonstrated that couple-stress continuum is a subclass of strain-gradient continua. The derived stress–strain relationship is simplified to obtain the expressions of elastic constants for a couple-stress continuum. The derived stress–strain relationship is compared with that of existing theories on strain- gradient models. The effects of inter-particle stiffness and particle size on material constants are discussed. 相似文献

Continuum mechanics relies on the fundamental notion of a mesoscopic volume “element” in which properties averaged over discrete particles obey deterministic relationships. Recent work on granular materials suggests that a continuum law may be inapplicable, revealing inhomogeneities at the particle level, such as force chains and slow cage breaking. Here, we analyze large-scale three-dimensional discrete-element method (DEM) simulations of different granular flows and show that an approximate “granular element” defined at the scale of observed dynamical correlations (roughly three to five particle diameters) has a reasonable continuum interpretation. By viewing all the simulations as an ensemble of granular elements which deform and move with the flow, we can track material evolution at a local level. Our results confirm some of the hypotheses of classical plasticity theory while contradicting others and suggest a subtle physical picture of granular failure, combining liquid-like dependence on deformation rate and solid-like dependence on strain. Our computational methods and results can be used to guide the development of more realistic continuum models, based on observed local relationships between average variables. 相似文献

The fine-scale heterogeneity of granular material is characterized by its polydisperse microstructure with randomness and no periodicity. To predict the mechanical response of the material as the microstructure evolves, it is demonstrated to develop computational multiscale methods using discrete particle assembly-Cosserat continuum modeling in micro- and macro- scales, respectively. The computational homogenization method and the bridge scale method along the concurrent scale linking approach are briefly introduced. Based on the weak form of the Hu-Washizu variational principle, the mixed finite element procedure of gradient Cosserat continuum in the frame of the second-order homogenization scheme is developed. The meso-mechanically informed anisotropic damage of effective Cosserat continuum is characterized and identified and the microscopic mechanisms of macroscopic damage phenomenon are revealed. 相似文献

A theoretical framework is presented for the statics and kinematics of discrete Cosserat-type granular materials. In analogy to the force and moment equilibrium equations for particles, compatibility equations for closed loops are formulated in the two-dimensional case for relative displacements and relative rotations at contacts. By taking moments of the equilibrium equations, micromechanical expressions are obtained for the static quantities average Cauchy stress tensor and average couple stress tensor. In analogy, by taking moments of the compatibility equations, micromechanical expressions are obtained for the (infinitesimal) kinematic quantities average rotation gradient tensor and average Cosserat strain tensor in the two-dimensional case. Alternatively, these expressions for the average Cauchy stress tensor and the average couple stress tensor are obtained from considerations of the equivalence of the continuum force and couple traction vectors acting on a plane and the resultant of the discrete forces and couples acting on this plane. In analogy, the expressions for the average rotation gradient tensor and the average Cosserat strain tensor are obtained from considerations of the change of length and change of rotation of a line element in the two-dimensional case. It is shown that the average particle stress tensor is always symmetrical, contrary to the average stress tensor of an equivalent homogenized continuum. Finally, discrete analogues of the virtual work and complementary virtual work principles from continuum mechanics are derived. 相似文献

This paper analyses three popular methods simulating granular flow at different time and length scales: discrete element method (DEM), averaging method and viscous, elastic-plastic continuum model. The theoretical models of these methods and their applications to hopper flows are discussed. It is shown that DEM is an effective method to study the fundamentals of granular flow at a particle or microscopic scale. By use of the continuum approach, granular flow can also be described at a continuum or macroscopic scale. Macroscopic quantities such as velocity and stress can be obtained by use of such computational method as FEM. However, this approach depends on the constitutive relationship of materials and ignores the effect of microscopic structure of granular flow. The combined approach of DEM and averaging method can overcome this problem. The approach takes into account the discrete nature of granular materials and does not require any global assumption and thus allows a better understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of granular flow. However, it is difficult to adapt this approach to process modelling because of the limited number of particles which can be handled with the present computational capacity, and the difficulty in handling non-spherical particles. Further work is needed to develoo an aoorooriate aooroach to overcome these problems. 相似文献

In granular mechanics, macroscopic approaches treat a granular material as an equivalent continuum at macro-scale, and study its constitutive relationship between macro-quantities, such as stresses and strains. On the other hand, microscopic approaches consider a granular material as an assembly of individual particles interacting with each other at micro-scale (i.e., particle-scale), and the physical quantities under study are forces and displacements. This paper aims at linking up the findings from these two scales and to establish the macro–micro relations in granular mechanics.Three aspects of the macro–micro relations are investigated. They are about the internal structure, the stress tensor and the strain tensor. The internal structure is described with geometrical systems at the particle scale. Micro-structural definitions of the stress and strain tensors are derived, which link the macro-stress tensor with the contact forces, and the macro-strain tensor with the relative displacements at contact. In addition to a brief review of the past research work on these topics, further generalizations are made in this paper. In particular, the two cell systems proposed by Li and Li (2009), namely the solid cell system and the void cell system, are introduced and used for the derivation of the macro-structural expressions. The stress expression is derived based on Newton’s second law of motion. The result is valid for both static and dynamic cases. The strain expression is derived based on the compatibility requirement. And the expression is valid for any tessellation subdividing the granular assembly into polyhedral elements.The homogenization for deriving a macroscopic constitutive relationship from microscopic behaviour is discussed. Attention is placed on the macroscopic quantification of the internal structure in terms of a second rank tensor, known as the fabric tensor. Existing definitions of the fabric tensors have been reviewed. The correlations among different fabric tensors and their relations with the stress–strain behaviours have been investigated. 相似文献

In elastoplastic soil models aimed at capturing the impact of fabric anisotropy, a necessary ingredient is a measure of anisotropic fabric in the form of an evolving tensor. While it is possible to formulate such a fabric tensor based on indirect phenomenological observations at the continuum level, it is more effective and insightful to have the tensor defined first based on direct particle level microstructural observations and subsequently deduce a corresponding continuum definition. A practical means able to provide such observations, at least in the context of fabric evolution mechanisms, is the discrete element method (DEM). Some DEM defined fabric tensors such as the one based on the statistics of interparticle contact normals have already gained widespread acceptance as a quantitative measure of fabric anisotropy among researchers of granular material behavior. On the other hand, a fabric tensor in continuum elastoplastic modeling has been treated as a tensor-valued internal variable whose evolution must be properly linked to physical dissipation. Accordingly, the adaptation of a DEM fabric tensor definition to a continuum constitutive modeling theory must be thermodynamically consistent in regards to dissipation mechanisms. The present paper addresses this issue in detail, brings up possible pitfalls if such consistency is violated and proposes remedies and guidelines for such adaptation within a recently developed Anisotropic Critical State Theory (ACST) for granular materials. 相似文献
