Particle Breakage and Attrition

Parametric dependence of particle breakage mechanisms

It has been observed that the pattern of particle impact breakage in two-dimensional systems is a result of two mechanisms. AMechanism IB accounts for the breakage induced by the stresses that appear in unbroken particles. AMechanism IIB breakage is due to the buckling of the Mechanism I fragments. The purpose of this paper is to try and understand the parameters that govern the magnitude of th...

Computer simulation of impact-induced particle breakage

The breakage induced in single circular particles that impact on solid plates has been studied using a two-dimensional simulation of solid fracture. The simulation allows the computer 'experimenter' to vary independently material properties such as Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and work of fracture, flexibility that is unavailable in direct experimentation. Where comparison is possible, the ...

Micromechanical 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...

dilation and particle breakage effects on the shear strength of calcareous sands based on energy aspects

in this paper shear behavior of two calcareous sands having different physical properties areinvestigated using drained and undrained triaxial tests. the investigated sands are obtained from two differentzones located in persian gulf, kish island and tonbak region. analysis based on energy aspects show thatfriction angle in these soils, having crushable particles, is formed of three components:...
