Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a block discrete element method, in particular to a three-dimensional arbitrary convex polygon block discrete element method based on a distance potential function, and belongs to the technical field of block discrete elements. Background technique
[0002] The idea of discrete element method originated from earlier molecular dynamics. In 1971, Professor Cundall P.A. of the United States first proposed a numerical analysis method for simulating the mechanical behavior of discontinuous media. This method divides the research object into a large number of discrete blocks (particles), and each block has a corresponding degree of freedom. Blocks interact with each other through contact force and moment, and apply appropriate force or displacement boundary conditions at the same time. Under the given initial conditions and external force, based on Newton's second law of motion and using the dynamic relaxation method showing time-...
