Numerical Discrete Element Simulation Of Soil Direct Shear Test
One of the most common methods to measure soil mechanical properties (namely cohesion and internal friction angle) is direct shear box test. In this paper the development of a three-dimensional (3D) discrete element soil model for simulation of a cohesive soil’s direct shear test is presented. The aim was to calibrate the properties of the Hertz-Mindlin with bonding contact model available in E...
متن کاملA Discrete Modelling of Soil Fragments Transport by Runoff
We aim to model and visualize the evolution of the surface structure of a cultivated soil surface during rainfall. In this paper, we briefly present our model, based on an Extended Cellular Automaton, and the different simulated processes. Among these processes, we focus on runoff which is of high relevance as it drives the evolution of the soil surface structure by transporting anddepositing t...
متن کاملDiscrete Element Simulation of Granular Material by Elongated Multi-sphere Particles
The discrete element method (DEM) became recognized as a numerical tool for simulating granular material when the work by Cundall and Strack [1] was published. Representation of the particle shape is one of the key issues of DEM simulations. Diversity of real particle shapes requires, however, the development of more sophisticated particle models beyond the most popular sphere, while elongated ...
متن کاملThe Influence of Using Soil Particles Percentage in Comparison with Geometric Characteristics of Soil Particles on the Accuracy of the Pedotransfer Equations and the Critical Point of SWRC
Soil water retention curve (SWRC) reflects different states of soil moisture and describes quantitative characteristics of the unsaturated parts of the soil. Direct measurement of SWRC is time-consuming, difficult and costly. Therefore, many indirect attempts have been made to estimate SWRC from other soil properties. Using pedotransfer functions is one of the indirect methods for estimating SW...
متن کاملEffective Self-Preservation of Methane Hydrate Particles in Crude Oils
In this work we investigated the behavior of methane hydrates dispersed in crude oils from different fields at temperatures below 0°C. In case of crude oil emulsion the size of water droplets is in the range of 50÷100μm. The size of hydrate particles formed from droplets is the same. The self-preservation is not expected in this field. However, the self-preservation of hydrates with the size of...
