Problems solved by technology

However, both the photoelastic experiment and the DIC method at this stage have deficiencies. The photoelastic experiment carried out at the present stage is a model experiment, and the experimental results can only provide reference for the force model and constitutive relationship of real sand particles, while real sand, etc. Particles have the characteristics of different shapes, textured surfaces and opaque materials, so it is impossible to use the photoelastic method for actual measurement, so the photoelastic experiment is not enough for most practical projects to be directly adopted, and has certain limitations; although the application of the DIC method is for particle systems The mechanical property test provides a new opportunity, but the published work is only the calculation of the contact force of the two-dimensional particle system and the extraction and identification of the force chain, and the calculation of the contact force between the particles in the three-dimensional particle system and the identification and extraction of the force chain have not yet been published. See relevant reports, there are certain limitations

At the same time, the identification and extraction of particle contact force and force chain combined with XCT scanning method has not been reported yet.
