Effect of contact location on the crushing strength of aggregates
Riccardo Artoni, Aurélien Neveu, Yannick Descantes +1
This work deals with the effect of the contact location distribution on the crushing of granular materials. At first, a simple drop weight experiment was designed in order to study…
Geometrical properties of rigid frictionless granular packings as a function of particle size and shape
Jean-François Camenen, Yannick Descantes
Three-dimensional discrete numerical simulation is used to investigate the properties of close-packed frictionless granular assemblies as a function of particle polydispersity and…
Fracture of granular materials composed of arbitrary grain shapes: A new cohesive interaction model
A Neveu, R Artoni, P Richard +1
Discrete Element Methods (DEM) are a useful tool to model the fracture of cohesive granular materials. For this kind of application, simple particle shapes (discs in 2D, spheres in…
Confined packings of frictionless spheres and polyhedra
Jean-François Camenen, Yannick Descantes, Patrick Richard
By means of numerical simulations, we study the influence of confinement on three-dimensional random close packed (RCP) granular materials subject to gravity. The effects of grain…
Effect of confinement on dense packings of rigid frictionless spheres and polyhedra
Jean-François Camenen, Yannick Descantes, Patrick Richard
We study numerically the influence of confinement on the solid fraction and on the structure of three-dimensional random close packed (RCP) granular materials subject to gravity. T…
