Spring method for modelling of particulate solid composed of spherical particles and weak matrix

In the present paper, a possibility of an approximation of elastic particulate composite with a network of elastic springs that undertake only axial forces is considered. It is assumed that the springs are equivalent to two hemispheres interacting through a weaker interface member. In a frame of the suggested approach, the description of the composite is limited to translational degrees of freedom, therefore, only a normal interaction between the spheres was considered. The methodology for calculation of the axial stiffness of the elastic springs and obtained solutions of the stiffness in explicit form are the main novelty of the article. A comparison of the stiffnesses of the springs obtained by the proposed methodology and by the three dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM) has shown a good agreement between them in a wide range of the ratio of the modulus of elasticity of the particles and matrix at four different distances between surfaces of the particles. A possibility of the approximation of particulate composite by springs was tested and discussed in details by comparing results of a mechanical response of a sample (under three different loading cases) modelled as a three dimensional solid and as a system comprised of the springs. The solutions were obtained by the FEM.

An analytical and numerical study of the tangential contact of a spherical particle under varying combined normal-tangential loading is presented. The normal and tangential contact is described by the Hertz and regularized Coulomb laws. This study is focused on the analysis of the tangential displacement of the particle’s contact point under variable normal force and reevaluation of the procedures for calculation of the tangential force. The incremental displacement-driven and force-driven constitutive relationships are developed. The importance of an adequate numerical treatment of the tangential component of the contact force is shown for the slide mode, and the recommendations for its evaluation are proposed. The performance of the algorithm is demonstrated by solving the problem of the oblique impact of the spherical particle on the wall. The suggested methodology allows us to analyse the elastic and sliding effects of the tangential interaction more precisely than existing methodologies. Besides, the issue of the direction of the tangential force, when the Coulomb limit is reached, was reconsidered in one-dimensional case by taking three versions of the unit direction vector, which are based on the tangential elastic displacement, tangential stick force, and tangential relative velocity of the contact point of the particle.
