摘要: 颗粒材料是一种复杂的多体相互作用体系, 由大量离散的颗粒和其周围的自由体积组成. 虽然颗粒的自由体积与颗粒材料的力学性能和变形特征的相关性已得到证实, 但是由于表征上的困难, 目前对非球形颗粒体系的局部自由体积的认识还不够充分. 本文采用连续离散耦合分析方法进行了不同主轴长度的椭球颗粒试样的三轴剪切数值模拟, 基于Set Voronoi算法对剪切过程中的颗粒试样进行了Voronoi元胞分割, 分析了颗粒试验在剪切过程中自由体积的统计分布特性和演化规律, 研究了颗粒形态对自由体积的影响. 剪切过程中Voronoi元胞的各向异性逐渐增强, 且各项异性增强程度随颗粒非球度的增加而增大, 表明非球颗粒在剪切过程中经历更加强烈的重排列. 具有不同非球度的椭球颗粒体系的局部孔隙比均服从k−Γ分布, 且这个分布仅与颗粒体系的全局孔隙比相关, 不受颗粒形态和剪切状态的影响. 局部孔隙比的波动呈现非对称拉普拉斯分布, 非对称参数刻画了局部自由体积收缩和膨胀的博弈, 其与全局孔隙比呈线性关系.Abstract: Granular material is a complex multi-body interaction system which is composed of a large number of discrete particles and their surrounding free volume. Although the correlation between free volume and the mechanical properties as well as the deformation characteristics of granular materials has been proved, the local free volume of non-spherical particles is not fully understood at present due to the difficulties in characterizing. In this paper, the combined finite and discrete element method (FDEM) is used to simulate the triaxial tests of ellipsoidal particles with different principal axis lengths, and the Set Voronoi tessellation method is applied to construct the Voronoi cells of the particles during shearing. The statistical distribution and evolution of the local free volume of the granular systems during shearing are analyzed, and the influence of particle shape on the evolution of free volume is studied. Our results show the anisotropy of Voronoi cells gradually increases during shearing, and the degree of anisotropy increase will be intensified with the increase of particle shape asphericity, which means the granular assembly with a larger asphericity will experience more intense rearrangement during shearing. The local void ratio of ellipsoidal particle systems with different asphericity statistically complies with a k−Γ distribution, which is controlled by the global void ratio of granular assembly and not affected by particle shape and shear state. The local void ratio fluctuations follow an asymmetric laplace distribution (ALD), and its asymmetric parameter which has a linear relationship with the global void ratio of granular assembly describes the competition between contraction and dilatation of local free volume.
