Viscoplastic modelling of rate dependent pile penetration in crushable sand
This work examines how crushable sand responds to the different quasi static constant rates of pile penetration A breakage mechanics based viscoplastic constitutive model simulates plane strain pile driving in sand focusing on how the penetration rate affects particle crushing at the pile tip Finite element modelling FEM is used to simulate the pile granular
How To Turn Glass Bottles Into Sand 6 Easy
The discrete element method DEM first developed by Cundall and Strack [5] has been used to understand the micromechanics of DEM models have accurately replicated sand response at quasi static strain rates [[6] [7]] However the large number of particles in a real sand specimen and the lack of calibrated and validated particle
