[0002] The indirect tensile test (IDT) of asphalt mixture, also known as the splitting test, is a common test method for evaluating the crack resistance and durability of asphalt mixture to ensure that its performance in actual road engineering meets the design requirements. The indirect tensile test is almost a necessary test for asphalt mixture testing and is widely used for performance testing of various asphalt mixtures. However, the test results can only reflect the overall performance, lack of internal stress data of each component of asphalt mixture, and can only be used to evaluate whether the performance is qualified, and has limited reference value for design and improvement. At present, there is no effective method to obtain the internal stress of asphalt mixture, the sensor can only obtain part of the data, and the internal structure will be changed to cause data distortion; the digital speckle method is limited to obtaining surface strain, and it is difficult to obtain internal mechanical data. The internal synergistic stress is crucial for evaluating the uniformity of stress of asphalt mixture and improving the bearing capacity.

[0003] The discrete element method (DEM) is a numerical calculation method for simulating and analyzing the behavior of granular materials, which is suitable for studying systems composed of a large number of interacting discrete bodies. Asphalt mixture is composed of coarse aggregate, asphalt mortar and voids, which meets the basic idea of the discrete element method. Asphalt mixture is regarded as being composed of many independent and discrete particles. These particles are regarded as individual units with mechanical properties in the calculation, and the behavior of the entire system is simulated by calculating the interaction between these units. The mass, shape, size, motion state and other characteristics of each particle are considered in the model, and the mechanical characteristics of the internal components are effectively obtained. Therefore, it is of great significance to realize efficient and accurate indirect tensile simulation by means of the discrete element method, propose an internal component stress analysis method and evaluation index, and solve the current performance evaluation dilemma of asphalt mixture and guide its structure design and improvement.
