DEM Simulation and Parameter Analysis of Nonlinear Characteristics of Northern Jiangsu Silt

Discrete element method is used to do dynamic research into particulate systems, aimed at establishing a correlation between discrete particulate element contact analysis and macroscopic response. This method is thus made a helpful supplement to the conventional experimental techniques of analyzing microscopic properties. Parameter analysis of particulate micro parameters is carried out using a three-dimensional discrete element method （YADE）, in order to study the influence of micro parameters on macroscopic response of triaxial tests. The results show that elastic modulus and Poisson Ratio are related to normal contact stiffness and the contact stiffness ratio, and they also change when the friction angle varies. The dilatancy level and porosity＇ s development tendency to critical porosity are dominated by inter-particle friction angles at the consolidation stage and shear stage. Based on these results, a modified calibration procedure of particulate micro parameters for triaxial shear test is proposed, and then a numerical simulation is also carried out. The numerical results are quantitatively in agreement with the laboratory results, and the feasibility of the numerical method is validated to study the nonlinear deformation characteristics of triaxial shear test.
