Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of numerical simulation technology, and in particular to a microscopic numerical modeling technique for composite materials such as asphalt concrete and cement concrete. Specifically, it relates to a multi-level calibration method for microscopic parameters applicable to discrete element linear contact bonding models. Background Technology
[0002] Discrete element method (DEM) numerical simulation is an important tool for studying the mechanical behavior of discrete media. It is widely used in fields such as particulate materials, discontinuous media, and multiphase systems, and has significant advantages, especially in mesoscopic modeling and complex mechanical response analysis. In current DEM modeling practices, obtaining key mesoscopic parameters typically relies on trial and error. This method involves pre-setting mesoscopic parameters, repeatedly performing numerical calculations at the mixture level, and comparing the simulated macroscopic mechanical properties with experimentally measured data to deduce the mesoscopic parameters that meet the required computational accuracy.
[0003] However, existing trial-and-error methods have certain limitations in practical applications. On the one hand, these methods often only consider the overall macroscopic mechanical properties of the mixture as the sole calibration target, neglecting the independent rationality of the macroscopic mechanical properties of the constituent materials (such as asphalt mortar and coarse aggregate in asphalt mixtures). This leads to unclear physical meanings of the parameters of each individual component material in the model, thus affecting the reliability and generalizability of the microscopic parameters. On the other hand, the lack of clear basis for setting the initial microscopic parameters may result in an irregular parameter optimization process, making the trial-and-error process time-consuming and labor-intensive, which to some extent restricts the computational efficiency of the microscopic parameters of the discrete element model. Therefore, establishing a rapid calculation method for multi-level key microscopic parameters with clear physical logical constraints is of great significance for improving the modeling efficiency and parameter rationality of the discrete element method.

[0042] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0043] This invention proposes a discrete element method for calibrating micro-parameters that follows a hierarchical calibration system of "single component—mixture—structure" and incorporates a decoupling strategy of "modulus first, strength later." This method effectively fills the gap in the systematic calibration process of existing technologies. By prioritizing the physical rationality of both single-component materials and mixtures, it avoids the parameter offset problem that is prone to occur in traditional trial-and-error methods, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of micro-parameters.
[0044] Meanwhile, this invention establishes a quantitative mapping relationship between macroscopic mechanical indicators and microscopic model parameters. By constructing mathematical functions, the microscopic parameters become predictable and computable, changing the previous calibration method of blind trial and error and significantly improving the efficiency of parameter acquisition. This method is not only applicable to asphalt pavement materials, but can also provide a reference for the discrete element microscopic parameter calibration of other composite materials.

[0054] To make the purpose, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0055] Example 1:
[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a multi-level calibration method for mesoscopic parameters applicable to discrete element linear contact bonding models. This method follows a hierarchical, progressive calibration logic of "single component—mixture—structure," and the overall process is divided into two main stages: "mesoscopic normal stiffness parameter calibration" and "mesoscopic tensile strength parameter calibration." During implementation, the discrete element model uses a flexible cluster model to simulate material particles, maintaining consistent particle size. The preferred mesoscopic particle arrangement is a tetragonal or hexagonal structure, and the mesoscopic contact constitutive model uses a linear contact bonding model.
[0057] Phase 1: Microscopic Normal Stiffness Parameter Calibration
[0058] This stage involves executing steps S1 to S5 to accurately obtain the mesoscopic normal stiffness parameters of each component material.
[0059] First, step S1 is executed to establish a discrete element uniaxial compression simulation model of a single-component material. In this model, the mesoscopic normal stiffness is set. With tangential stiffness Conversion factors between them, and micro tensile strength With shear strength The conversion factor between them is a fixed value. To ensure that the model does not experience unexpected fracture failure during the loading process of calculating the compressive resilient modulus, the micro-tensile strength needs to be converted to a fixed value. Set to the maximum value, which is usually 1e4 or a value of the same order of magnitude.
[0060] Perform step S2 to determine the actual value of the compressive resilient modulus of each component material. The reasonable range is determined, and several sets of mesoscopic normal stiffness with different gradients are preset. By running the simulation model, the simulated values of the macroscopic compressive resilient modulus of each component material were calculated. And ensure that these simulated values cover the range of the actual values mentioned above. Subsequently, numerical regression analysis was used to establish simulated values for the compressive resilient modulus of the single-component material. With microscopic normal stiffness The first mapping function between The functional relationship is denoted as .
[0061] Perform step S3 to establish a discrete element uniaxial compression simulation model of the mixture. The particle size, arrangement, and conversion factors for various stiffnesses and strengths in this model are consistent with those in step S1, and the mesoscopic tensile strength is also included. Set to a maximum value to eliminate interference from destructive behavior on the modulus calculation.
[0062] Execute step S4, using the first mapping function obtained in step S2. Based on the actual values of the compressive resilient modulus of each component material The initial mesoscopic normal stiffness of each component is calculated in reverse. Using this initial value as a baseline, several sets of mesoscopic parameter combinations are generated within a certain range and substituted into the mixture model for calculation, yielding simulated values of the macroscopic compressive resilient modulus of the mixture under different component combinations. By using multivariate numerical fitting, a simulated value for the compressive resilient modulus of the mixture was established. The second mapping function between the microscopic normal stiffness of each component , recorded as Finally, the actual value of the compressive resilient modulus of the mixture was used. and actual values of each component material The mesoscopic normal stiffness of each component is then calibrated based on this second mapping function. In this process, the calibration principle prioritizes matching the macroscopic actual values of the mixture. The main focus is on ensuring that the parameters of each component are within a reasonable range of physical values.
[0063] After completing the calibration of the mixture layer, proceed to step S5 for structural verification. Establish a discrete element load model of the simulated structure, and substitute the calibrated mesoscopic normal stiffness of each component from step S4 into the model to calculate the mechanical response of the structure. If there are deviations between the simulated and measured values, fine-tune the parameters. During fine-tuning, adhere to the principle of maintaining the stability of the mixture layer calibration results, making only minor corrections when necessary to meet accuracy requirements.
[0064] Phase Two: Detailed Calibration of Tensile Strength Parameters
[0065] Based on the fixed microscopic normal stiffness and related tangential stiffness determined in the first stage, this stage completes the calibration of the microscopic tensile strength parameters by executing steps S6 to S9.
[0066] Perform step S6 to establish discrete element splitting simulation models for each component material. At this point, the mesoscopic normal stiffness of each component material in the model directly adopts the values after calibration in the first stage, and the conversion coefficients between stiffness and strength remain unchanged.
[0067] Perform step S7. Determine the actual values of the macroscopic splitting strength of each component material. The reasonable range of values, and several sets of micro tensile strengths are preset. Simulation calculations were performed to obtain the corresponding simulated values of macroscopic splitting strength. To ensure that the simulated values cover the actual value range, simulated values of the splitting strength of single-component materials are established through fitting. With micro tensile strength The third mapping function between This relationship is denoted as .
[0068] Perform step S8 to establish a discrete element splitting simulation model of the mixture. All settings in the model, including particle size, arrangement, conversion factor, and fixed stiffness parameters, are consistent with those in step S6.
[0069] Finally, execute step S9. Utilize the third mapping function. Actual values of splitting strength of each component material The initial mesoscopic tensile strength of each component is calculated. Based on this, parameter combinations are generated, and a mixture splitting simulation is run to obtain the simulated macroscopic splitting strength of the mixture. Simulated values of splitting strength of the mixture were established through multivariate fitting. The fourth mapping function between the microscopic tensile strength of each component , recorded as Ultimately, the actual splitting strength of the mixture is used. Combined with the actual values of each component The microscopic tensile strength of each component is calibrated based on the fourth mapping function, thereby obtaining a complete set of microscopic parameters that satisfies both the physical meaning of individual components and the macroscopic mechanical properties of the mixture.
