A Domain Decomposition method for granular dynamics using discrete elements and application to railway ballast
The paper is devoted to the development of a non overlapping Domain Decomposition method adapted to granular dynamics. The formulation and the efficiency of such a method are well established for structural mechanics. In order to extend this approach to granular systems a so-called primal splitting of the domain is chosen because it is a less intrusive method for software development. Once the ...
متن کاملA New Technique for Quality Assessment of Railway Ballast Materials
The influence of main quality tests on the overall quality of railway ballast materials is assessed in this study. The need to integrate all acceptance tests in a unified manner for precise evaluation of ballast quality is identified, and a technique of performing this is proposed. Using this approach, a new ballast quality index (BQI) is defined in which, the main acceptance tests including ab...
متن کاملA Study of the Wave Propagation Velocity in Granular Soils Using Discrete Element Method (DEM)
In the present paper, discrete element method (DEM) is used to study wave propagation phenomenon in granular soils. The effect of factors such as coefficient of friction, frequency, normal stiffness and soil gradation on the wave velocity is studied. Using the wall motion based on the sinusoidal function is the method of loading used in this simulation, through which the pressure wave is transf...
متن کاملAn adaptive hierarchical domain decomposition method for parallel contact dynamics simulations of granular materials
A fully parallel version of the Contact dynamics (CD) method is presented in this paper. For large enough systems, 100% efficiency is reached for an arbitrary number of processors using hierarchical domain decomposition with dynamical load balancing. The iterative scheme to calculate the contact forces is left domain-wise sequential, with data exchange after each iteration step, which ensures i...
متن کاملDiscrete Element Method Simulation of Railway Ballast Compactness During Tamping Process
Railway ballast tamping operation is employed in order to restore the geometry of railway track distorted by train traffics. In this paper, based on analysis of tamping principle, the discrete element analysis model of railway ballast is created using the discrete element method, numerical simulations are performed to study the change of railway ballast compactness during tamping process. This ...
