Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of computational mechanics and elastic-brittle material simulation, and particularly relates to a DDDA-based numerical simulation method and system for the progressive failure process of elastic-brittle materials. Background Art

[0002] Brittle materials, such as rock, concrete, ceramics, and glass, are found in almost all common engineering projects. The destruction of brittle materials, including the initiation and propagation of cracks in intact or fractured materials, is very common in engineering projects. This type of destruction can accumulate to form a through-sliding surface, creating conditions for large displacements of the sliding body and easily causing disasters. Taking rock mass engineering as an example, the initiation and propagation of cracks in intact rock or fractured rock mass often trigger geological disasters such as rockfall, collapse, landslide, and tunnel collapse after forming a through-sliding surface. Revealing the failure mechanism of brittle materials helps predict the location of crack initiation and the path of crack propagation, so as to take more effective reinforcement measures to prevent the formation of sliding surfaces and avoid potential disasters.

[0003] Among the many research methods for material failure, numerical simulation has gradually become one of the most promising approaches for development and application. Traditional continuous numerical methods, such as the finite element method (FEM) and the effective difference method (FDM), cannot accurately simulate discontinuous phenomena such as the propagation of multiple cracks in materials. Discontinuous numerical methods, such as the discrete element method (DEM) and the discontinuous deformation analysis method (DDA), play an irreplaceable role in the numerical simulation of the entire material failure process. The basic computational unit of both methods is a discrete block. A bonding model is required to bond the discrete blocks together into a whole. When the failure condition is met, crack propagation is simulated by destroying the bond between the two bonded blocks. Compared with DEM, DDA has the following advantages: 1. Higher solution accuracy; 2. No need for very small time steps and artificial damping to ensure computational stability.

[0004] Currently, most DDA bonding models are based on traditional DDA, which uses polygonal / polyhedral blocks as basic units. The contact problem of basic units in traditional DDA is complex and the computational efficiency is low. Summary of the Invention
