Discrete Element Modeling of Railroad Ballast Settlement
This paper presents findings of a railroad ballast Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) research study focused on investigating ballast settlement under repeated wheel loading. In this approach, the ballast layer is modeled as an assembly of aggregate particles, AREMA No. 24 ballast gradation with different shapes and angularities and rough surface textures. The study matrix considered three differe...
متن کاملMicromechanical Considerations of Particle Breakage Using Discrete Element Method
Using DEM (Discrete Element Method), a model is presented to simulate the breakage of two-dimensional polygonshaped particles. In this model, shapes of the particles generated after breakage are predefined and each uniform (uncracked) particle is replaced with smaller inter-connected sub-particles. If the bond between these sub-particles breaks, breakage will happen. With the help of this model...
متن کاملDiscrete Element Modeling of Dike-induced Deformation
Introduction: The Tharsis region of Mars is characterized by large volcanic and tectonic centers with distinct sets of graben systems. Many of the radially oriented grabens have been inferred to form in response to intrusion of magmatic dikes. This interpretation is based primarily upon early physical and numerical (boundary element) models that were developed originally to understand surface d...
متن کاملAREMA Gradations Affecting Ballast Performance Using Discrete Element Modeling
This paper evaluates the different AREMA gradations currently in use for their effects on both ballast void space and load carrying performances using a discrete particle analysis computational technique called Discrete Element Modeling (DEM). The effect of gradation on aggregate assembly volumetric properties was first studied. Full-scale ballast layers with common gradations listed in AREMA s...
متن کاملDiscontinuous Deformation Analysis of Seismic Failure Behavior in a Narrow Area of Railroad Ballast
The seismic failure behavior of railroad ballasts in response to earthquakes was analyzed using Discontinuous Deformation Analysis.Several sinusoidal waves with different frequencies and accelerations were inputted into the discontinuous numerical model of a railroad ballast ,which consists of an assemblage of polygonal crushed stones,rails,sleepers and a roadbed .The dependencies of railroad f...
