颗粒破碎的微观力学模拟

基于颗粒尺度建立了考虑颗粒破碎过程中能量耗散的微观力学模型。为了模拟颗粒体的破碎过程和侧向应力的影响,把胶结在一起的三个等粒径的颗粒体当作颗粒破碎体。基于颗粒破碎准则和热力学原理,考虑了颗粒破碎过程中颗粒接触点之间的塑性滑移和颗粒转动以及侧向应力作用,通过颗粒破碎体内部颗粒之间的接触破碎来模拟颗粒体的破碎。计算结果表明:本文所提出的微观力学模型可以模拟胶结在一起的大颗粒的破碎过程;颗粒之间的微观力学参数对颗粒破碎过程中的力、塑性滑移、颗粒的转动角有不同程度的影响;力-位移关系曲线在破碎前是线性的,而颗粒破碎时竖向力迅速降低到较小值,并伴有颗粒的转动。     

钙质砂与结构接触面的本构模型研究

基于接触面的宏、细观物理特征,建立了单调加载条件下钙质砂与结构接触面的弹塑性增量本构关系。从接触面的宏观条件上考虑,该模型将弹性模量取为法向压力的指数函数,采用非关联流动法则和Mohr-columb屈服函数,以及切向塑性功为硬化参量,适用于多数接触摩擦问题。在细观上将滑动面抽象为锯齿面,同时将摩擦系数取为塑性功的双曲线函数,以考虑钙质砂颗粒破碎对接触面力学特性的影响。模型概念简单、参数较少,通过理论计算与钙质砂拉拔试验结果比较,显示了模型的合理性。

为考察脆性空心颗粒材料冲击载荷下的力学特性,以具有不同粒径分布的粉煤灰漂珠为研究对象,对其静动态力学性能进行实验研究。通过限制颗粒材料压缩应变为50%,分析颗粒破碎率和破碎机理与材料宏观应变率效应的关系。结果表明:（1）不同粒径的漂珠颗粒材料在动态压缩下较准静态压缩下颗粒材料的强度均有明显的增强,在0.001和150 s?1大小颗粒的强度分别提高200%和195%,在150和300 s?1大小颗粒的强度分别提高39%和51.5%,在300和800 s?1大小颗粒的强度并未发生明显的变化;（2）在相同加载速度下粒径较小的颗粒比大粒径颗粒的强度和吸能效果分别提高35%～40%和35%～48%;（3）对破碎后颗粒粒径分布曲线分析可知,随着加载速度的增加,大小颗粒的破碎率和破碎程度都会增大,且在相同加载速度下大颗粒的破碎率较小颗粒的破碎率高;（4）Hardin破碎势分析表明,单位输入能量下颗粒的相对破碎势随冲击速度增大而减小,动态冲击下用于颗粒破碎的能量利用率降低,从而导致材料在相同压缩量下产生更高的能量耗散和应力水平,即表现为宏观的应变率效应。

颗粒材料破碎演化路径细观热力学机制

颗粒材料在高应力环境下会发生颗粒破碎现象,颗粒破碎不仅影响颗粒材料的力学特性,同时与大量工程问题密切相关.目前的相关研究主要集中在唯象地描述颗粒破碎的演化以及破碎对力学特性的影响层面,对颗粒破碎演化路径的物理机制研究较少.本文基于热力学框架,采用细观力学中细观-宏观的均匀化方法推导了颗粒体系弹性能和破碎能量耗散,并在最大能量耗散的假设下,在热力学框架内,建立了理想化的无摩擦球体颗粒等向压缩过程的弹性-破碎模型,阐述了颗粒材料破碎演化路径细观热力学机制.由于模型的推导不依赖任何唯象的经验公式,因此模型中包含的参数均有明确的物理意义.模型预测与前人试验结果对比表明,材料的初始级配对弹性压缩模量和破碎应力的影响并不相同:不同分形维数级配对应的弹性体变模量存在极大值,而破碎应力却随着分形维数的增大单调递增;颗粒破碎的演化符合最大能量耗散原理,且颗粒材料的压缩曲线可以分为弹性-破碎-拟弹性3个机制不同的阶段.      

Relationship between single and bulk mechanical properties for zeolite ZSM5 spray-dried particles

In this work typical mechanical properties for a catalyst support material, ZSM5 （a spray-dried granular zeolite）, have been measured in order to relate the bulk behaviour of the powder material to the single particle mechanical properties. Particle shape and size distribution of the powders, determined by laser diffraction and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, confirmed the spherical shape of the spray-dried particles. The excellent flowability of the material was assessed by typical methods such as the Hausner ratio and the Cart index, This was confirmed by bulk measurements of the particle-particle internal friction parameter and flow function using a Schulze shear cell, which also illustrated the low compressibility of the material. Single particle compression was used to characterize single particle mechanical properties such as reduced elastic modulus and strength from Hertz contact mechanics theory. Comparison with surface properties obtained from nanoindentation suggests heterogeneity, the surface being harder than the core. In order to evaluate the relationship between single particle mechanical properties and bulk compression behaviour, uniaxial confined compression was carried out. It was determined that the Adams model was suitable for describing the bulk compression and furthermore that the Adams model parameter, apparent strength of single particles, was in good agreement with the single particle strength determined from single particle compression test.

Effect of Particle Morphology,Compaction, and Confinement on the High Strain Rate Behavior of Sand

The effect of grain shape, size distribution, intergranular friction, confinement, and initial compaction state on the high strain rate compressive mechanical response of sand is quantified using Long Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (LSHPB) experiments, generating up to 1.1 ms long load pulses. This allowed the dynamic characterisation of different types of sand until full compaction (lowest initial void ratio) at different strain rates. The effect of the grain morphology and size on the dynamic compressive mechanical response of sand is assessed by conducting experiments on three types of sand: Ottawa Sand with quasi-spherical grains, Euroquartz Siligran with subangular grains and Q-Rok with polyhedral grain shape are considered in this study. The adoption of rigid (Ti64) and deformable (Latex) sand containers allowed for quasi-uniaxial strain and quasi-uniaxial stress conditions to be achieved respectively. Additionally, the effect of intergranular friction was studied, for the first time in literature, by employing polymer coated Euroquartz sand. Appropriate procedures for the preparation of samples at different representative initial consolidation states are utilized to achieve realistic range of naturally occurring formations of granular assembly from loose to dense state. The results identify material and confining sample state parameters which have significant effect on the mechanical response of sand at high strain rates and their interdependency for future integration into rate dependent constitutive models.     

Quantification of the Dynamic Compressive Response of Two Ottawa Sands

Two types of Ottawa sand (ASTM C778 #20–30 graded sand, denoted OS1, and C109 ASTM #C778 graded sand, denoted OS2) with different particle size distributions were tested in a series of dynamic uniaxial strain experiments using a modified split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system. The pulse shaper technique was employed to achieve the dynamic force balance and constant strain rate in the sand specimen. The effects of the strain rate, initial void ratio and moisture on the dynamic compression response of sand were examined. Two types of dynamic behavior occurred in the dry sand: solid-like and fluid-like behavior. The OS1 samples exhibited a fluid-like response at all initial void ratios, whereas the OS2 samples exhibited a solid-like response for all void ratios. This difference between the two sands may be due to the difference in the particular size distributions of OS1 and OS2. The initial elastic response of the dry sand samples seemed to be independent of the strain rate. The strain rate effects became more apparent after particle crushing and particle rearrangement began. Under a high degree of saturation, the strain rate effects were immediately apparent, even at lower strains. The dynamic response of sand was remarkably linear until the peak strain was reached.     

Estimation of structural element sizes in sand and compacted blocks of ground calcium carbonate using a void network model

An algorithm has been developed for the calculation of the size of the effective structural or skeletal elements which make up the solid phase of an unconsolidated or consolidated porous block. It is based on a previously presented algorithm, but it has now been validated on unconsolidated samples and tested on consolidated samples. It also includes a virtual reality representation of the structures. First, a network model named Pore-Cor is made to reproduce the percolation behaviour of the experimental sample, by matching its simulated percolation characteristics to an experimental mercury intrusion curve. The algorithm then grows skeletal elements between the cubic pores and cylindrical throats of the void network model until they touch up to four of the adjacent void features. The size distributions of the simulated solid elements are compared with each other and with experimentally determined particle size distributions, using a Mann–Whitney test. The algorithm was shown to simulate skeletal elements with the correct trends in size distribution for two different sand samples, provided the sand packed itself optimally under the applied mercury pressure. It was also applied to two samples of variously compressed calcium carbonate powder, having fine and coarse particle size distributions respectively. The simulation demonstrated that on compressing the powder at the minimum force, the skeletal elements differed from the constituent particle sizes, as expected. The average size of the skeletal elements increased as the compression force was increased on the calcium carbonate powders. The results suggest that the method could be useful as a tool for probing the effect of compaction on aggregation or sintering, and for studying other effects such as cementation in geological samples, where other more direct techniques cannot be applied.
