备注

为研究粗粒土剪切试验过程中宏观力学特性与颗粒细观运动规律,采用可视化大直剪仪对不同级配粗粒土进行剪切试验,利用图像处理技术对宏细观参数变化规律进行分析,再通过离散元数值模拟研究试样内部颗粒运动规律. 研究发现,剪应力-累计应变关系曲线属于剪切硬化型,颗粒在剪切过程中的破碎形态以接触点侵蚀破碎为主; 对颗粒长轴定向、平面孔隙率和配位数的分析发现,剪切过程中颗粒发生翻滚重排以及细粒填充作用; 直剪试验图像分析及离散元数值模拟均发现,剪切带不是严格按照水平主剪切面发展,而是与向上突起的弧形副剪切面共同形成拱形剪切带.

In order to study the macro mechanical properties and particle micro motion law in the shear test of coarse-grained soil, we carry out the shear test of different gradations of coarse-grained soil by using the visualized large direct shear apparatus, and analyze the change law of macro and micro parameters by using the image processing technology, and then investigate the particle motion law in the sample by numerical simulation using the discrete element method(DEM). The results show that the relationship curve between shear stress and cumulative strain in shear tests of coarse-grained soil belongs to the type of shear hardening. The failure mode of particles during shearing process is mainly caused by erosion fracture of contact points. The analysis of rose diagrams, plane porosities and coordination number of particles shows that the particle rollover, rearrangement and fine grained filling occurre during the shearing process. The image analyses of tests and the numerical simulation results of DEM show that shear zone in large shear tests is between horizontal main sliding surface and auxiliary surface of protuberant arc.
