Three-dimensional simulation using particle-thermal-fluid coupling scheme with a mixed Lagrangian-Eulerian approach is presented and the scheme is described by extending author's previous research [Y. Shimizu, 2004. “Fluid Coupling in PFC2D and PFC3D”, numerical modeling in micromechanics via particle methods—2004, Proceeding of 2nd International PFC Conference, Balkema, 2004, pp. 281-287]. The scheme solves the continuity, Navier-Stokes (N-S) and thermal energy equations numerically in Eulerian Cartesian coordinates, then derives pressure, velocity vectors and temperature for each fixed cell by considering particle existence. On the other hand, driving forces and thermal energy from fluid are applied to the particles as external body forces and a source term in the force-displacement law and the heat transfer calculations, respectively. This paper describes the thermal scheme for both fluid and particles. Results of two- and three-dimensional simulations involving forced convective heat transfer by fluid and conduction heat transfer within particles are presented. 相似文献
In this paper, we introduce an idea we refer to as sufficient bootstrapping, which is based on retaining only distinct individual responses, and also develop a theoretical framework for the techniques. We demonstrate through numerical illustrations that the proposed sufficient bootstrapping may be better than the conventional bootstrapping in certain situations. The expected gain by the sufficient bootstrapping has been computed for small and large sample sizes. The relative efficiency shows that there could be significant gain by the sufficient bootstrapping and it could reduce computational burden. Variance expressions for both the conventional and sufficient bootstrapping sample means are derived. Here the word “sufficient” is being used in the sense that it is “sufficient to take just one of any duplicated items in the bootstrap sample” and is not tightly connected to sufficiency in terms of any likelihood perspective. R code for comparing bootstrapping and sufficient bootstrapping are provided. A huge scope of further studies is suggested. 相似文献
Two dimensional simulations of non-cohesive granular matter in a biaxial shear tester are discussed. The effect of particle elasticity on the mechanical behavior is investigated using two complementary distinct element methods (DEM): Soft particle molecular dynamics simulations (Particle Flow Code, PFC) for elastic particles and contact dynamics simulations (CD) for the limit of perfectly rigid particles. As soon as the system dilates to form shear bands, it relaxes the elastic strains so that one finds the same stresses for rigid respectively elastic particles in steady state flow. The principal stresses in steady state flow are determined. They are proportional to each other, giving rise to an effective macroscopic friction coefficient which is about 10% smaller than the microscopic friction coefficient between the grains. 相似文献
This article deals with construction of complete 2
D exact view models of polyhedral objects for visual identification systems. In particular, a new method and an algorithm views generation using the view sphere with perspective concept are described. A set of views generated by this method forms a complete view representation of the object. The method of ensuring completeness of the view representation by controlling covering of the view space (by single-view areas) is used in the presented algorithm. The perspective projection used for calculating the views, the total, tight covering of the view sphere by the single-view areas and
-dimensionality of the views ensure, in our opinion, unambiguous and proper identification of polyhedral objects. The method consists in calculating single (any) view, determining the corresponding single-view area (so-called seedling single-view area) and then spiral propagation of neighbouring single-view areas until the whole view sphere is covered by them (i.e., until the border register containing the border between the covered and uncovered parts of the view sphere becomes empty). Having a complete set of single-view areas, we get a complete set of views as well. A method of determining single-view areas for convex polyhedra is also presented. 相似文献
This paper presents an investigation into the inter-particle bonding effects on the mechanical behaviors of structured sands using the distinct element method (DEM) incorporating measured inter-particle mechanical behaviors. The inter-particle mechanical behaviors are first studied by testing on idealized bonded granules under designed loading paths, which demonstrates a linear pre-failure force–displacement relationship and normal force-dependent shear strength of bonded particles. Then a modified contact model is proposed by employing different force–displacement laws for pre-failure and post-failure bonded particles, in which a failure criterion is introduced to describe the inter-particle debonding. The third part deals with the DEM numerical simulation of isotropic and biaxial compression tests to investigate the bonding effects on the mechanical behaviors of bonded sands, where the proposed model has been verified capable of capturing the main mechanical behaviors of bonded sands. In addition, the investigation into the microscopic responses quantitatively figures out the effects of inter-particle cementation on the mechanical behaviors and the loss of soil structure. 相似文献
The study of granular matter composed of spherical particles is of interest in manufacturing, material, and metallurgy. The viscoelastic and frictional contacts between the particles are the cause of forming the agglomeration. We present a numerical simulation for particles packing with three different kinds of size distributions: monosize, bimodal, and Gaussian, using distinct element method (DEM). The particles are initially put randomly but without any overlap, and then fall down due to the gravity force and collide with neighbor particles. Because of the dissipative factors of viscoelastic collision and frictional force, all the particles finally come together to form an agglomeration. Coordination number, porosity, radial distribution function, and force distribution are calculated for different size distributions. It is demonstrated that particle size distribution does affect the granular packing structure. 相似文献
The study of agglomerate strength is of vital importance in several industrial applications such as pharmaceutical, detergent and food manufacturing. Agglomerates could experience a size reduction during the production and handling processes due to collisions with other agglomerates or with the moving components and walls as well as during bulk flow due to shear deformation. In this analysis, we focus on the agglomerate damage due to oblique impact on walls, as this is a common damage process during, for example, pneumatic conveying and size reduction in pin mills.
Computer simulations have been carried out using Distinct Element Analysis, where the breakage characteristics of oblique impacts and the effect of the interparticle bond strength have been analysed. The procedure adopted here provides an isotropic and spherical agglomerate (uniform mass distribution and coordination number within radial segments of the agglomerate). The results indicate that the damage ratio (i.e. the number fraction of the broken bonds) depends on the normal component of the impact velocity only, i.e. the tangential component has little effect. However, the position of the clusters produced on impact does depend on the impact angle, which influences the pattern of breakage and in turn the size distribution of the large clusters. 相似文献
The problem for the solvability of pseudo-tearing subnetwork is one of the essentialinvestigations of network theory.The results presented would be not only mathematical conditionsbut also topological conditions for subnetwork solvability.These conditions are necessary andalmost sufficient.It should guide one intuitively to the design of accessible nodes. 相似文献
