Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of multiphysics coupling simulation, and more specifically, relates to a discrete element modeling method that integrates the morphology of crystalline polymer particles with thermo-mechanical coupling. Background Technology Layered crystalline polymer particles are a typical type of crystalline polymer composite particle formed by using high-energy explosive crystals (such as triaminotrinitrotoluene, octogen, and tetan) as the main component, polymers such as rubber, plastics, and polyurethane as binders, and adding additives. They are widely used in tunnel excavation, mining, demolition projects, underwater blasting, geological exploration, and in the defense and aerospace fields. Their molding and storage processes are sensitive to changes in ambient temperature, including thermal expansion mismatch, interfacial thermal debonding, binder softening, crystal phase transformation, and thermal cracking.
[0002] Existing research primarily relies on macroscopic continuum methods, employing techniques such as the finite element method (FEM) or finite difference method (FDM) to simulate macroscopic constitutive relations (e.g., elastoplastic models, Drucker-Prager models). Its limitations include: completely neglecting the internal granular structure, complex morphology, and particle size distribution of materials, failing to reflect stress concentration and anisotropy effects caused by real particle morphology; and being unable to directly simulate key micromechanical processes at the particle scale, such as fragmentation, interfacial debonding, and microcrack initiation and propagation. Damage is typically approximated by introducing homogenized damage variables, lacking a clear physical mechanism; and the use of uniform coefficients of thermal expansion and thermal conductivity fails to consider the thermal mismatch stress caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the crystalline and polymer phases, which is a key driving force for interfacial debonding and early damage. While the discrete element method can consider geometric irregularities and mechanical nonlinearities when simulating granular materials, it generally lacks a systematic integration of thermo-mechanical coupling effects, such as temperature-dependent material parameters (elastic modulus, bond strength), thermally induced interfacial degradation and debonding behavior, and the flow effect of binders at high temperatures.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 This embodiment provides a discrete element modeling method that integrates the morphology of crystalline polymer particles with thermo-mechanical coupling, including the following steps: S1. Experimental calibration of thermo-mechanical parameters: Using a uniaxial compression device with a temperature control system, crushing tests were conducted on crystalline polymer particles under different temperature gradients to obtain their mechanical response, and a stiffness response function of normal stiffness as a function of temperature was established based on the experimental data.
[0027] Please see Figure 2 The image shows a physical diagram of a temperature-controlled uniaxial loading device. Based on a uniaxial compression device, a temperature control unit is added. The temperature control unit consists of a temperature controller and a temperature control platform, which is positioned above the loading platform and also serves as part of the loading platform. Considering spherical particles with an average diameter of 1.0 mm and columnar particles with a length of 2.5 mm and a diameter of 0.9 mm, the temperature gradients are 30℃ (room temperature), 60℃, 80℃, 100℃, and 120℃, and the heating method is a high-temperature-force coupling. The crystalline polymer particles are placed on the heating platform and heated via contact heat transfer. After reaching the preset temperature, a constant temperature condition is maintained for uniaxial loading tests. Some test results are shown in [reference needed]. Figures 3-5 Analysis of the experimental data revealed that the mechanical behavior of the binder dominated the macroscopic response of the particles. (See also...) Figure 11 Based on the experimental data of spherical particles, the response function of normal stiffness as a function of temperature was obtained by fitting:
[0028] in, For normal stiffness, For temperature.
[0029] S2. Constructing a real-morphological particle discrete element model: A crystal template is constructed based on scanning electron microscope images, and the overall geometric morphology of the crystal polymer particles is obtained based on X-ray tomography images; the crystal template is placed in the discrete element software, and after compression molding and removal of out-of-contour units, an irregular and heterogeneous real-morphological particle discrete element model is obtained. Specifically, it includes: S21. SEM-based crystal model construction: Please refer to Figure 6 In the crystal micromorphology images scanned by SEM, representative crystal morphologies are selected, crystal profiles are identified by grayscale analysis, the geometric profile is imported into the discrete element method, and spherical units with a radius of 5μm are generated in the profile in the densest hexagonal packing manner. The generated crystal particle clusters are then used as crystal templates. S22. CT-based global particle modeling: Please refer to Figure 7-8 Crystal templates that meet the gradation requirements are placed inside a circular wall. Porosity is controlled by a three-stage progressive compression method. Combined with CT slice images, the real geometric shape of the particles is imported and the spherical units outside the particle outline are removed to obtain an irregular and heterogeneous real-morphological particle discrete element model. S3. Obtain the response function of the strength parameters of crystalline polymer particles as a function of temperature: Set the contact stiffness of the discrete element model using the stiffness response function established in step S1, and perform thermo-mechanical coupled uniaxial loading simulation on the real-morphology particle discrete element model constructed in step S2 at the corresponding temperature; calibrate the strength parameters by comparing the force-displacement curves of the simulation and the experiment, and establish the strength response function of the strength parameters as a function of temperature. Please see Figure 12 By repeatedly adjusting and calibrating the strength parameters, the simulated force-displacement curve was made to match the experimental results, and the strength response function was finally obtained as follows:
[0030] in, For normal adhesion force, For temperature.
[0031] S4. Construct a thermo-mechanically coupled adhesive contact model, including establishing a heat transfer model and a contact constitutive model respectively; the heat transfer model integrates the heat conduction and thermal expansion mechanisms, and the contact constitutive model integrates the stiffness response function in step S1 and the strength response function in step S3; The specific steps include: S41. Establish a heat transfer model; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 9 The material system is simplified into a network topology consisting of thermal containers and thermal contacts, where each spherical unit is a thermal container and the contact between particles forms a heat transfer path. The expression for the thermal expansion behavior of particles is as follows:
[0032] in, Let be the radius of the small ball. The coefficient of thermal expansion is... For temperature difference, This represents the expansion amount.
[0033] The expression for the additional thermal stress is as follows:
[0034] in, is the normal stiffness of the contact key; A is the cross-sectional area of the contact key; L is the bond length, which is equal to the distance between the centers of the two spherical elements connected to the bond. The thermal expansion coefficient of the bond (take the average of the thermal expansion coefficients of the two small spheres at both ends). For temperature difference; The thermal expansion of the bond; S42. Establish a contact constitutive model. The thermo-mechanically coupled adhesive contact model consists of a set of orthogonal linear adhesive springs, and includes both bonded and unbonded states. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 10 The stiffness of this set of linear bonded springs has a certain functional relationship with temperature, which restricts the relative shear slip between particles and determines the tensile and shear strength of the contact bond, but the particles can rotate about the contact axis. When the contact force exceeds the tensile strength, the bond will break, at which point the normal and shear components of the contact are both zero. When the shear force exceeds the shear strength and the normal force is compressive and less than the product of the friction coefficient and the normal force, the bond breaks but does not affect the magnitude of the contact force. When the bond breaks, the model degenerates into a slip model.
[0035] The constitutive equations for normal and shear forces are:
[0036] in, For the normal component of linear force, This represents the tangential variation component of a linear force. Let be the normal stiffness of the contact as a function of temperature. The tangential stiffness of the contact varies with temperature; , These are the normal and tangential components of the interparticle overlap, respectively. Simulated tensile strength and shear strength The calculation formula is as follows:
[0037]
[0038] in, For the tensile strength of the bonded joint, t represents the shear resistance of the contact bond, r represents the radius of the smallest particle at both ends of the contact bond, and t represents the unit thickness of the discrete element particle. when > At that time, that is, normal force When the tensile force is greater than the tensile strength of the bond, the contact fails under tensile stress; when... > At that time, i.e., tangential force When the shear strength of the contact bond is greater than that of the bond bond, the contact fails under shear stress.
[0039] S5. Simulation and analysis of thermo-mechanical coupling behavior: Using the discrete element model of real-morphological particles constructed in step S2 and the thermo-mechanical coupling adhesive contact model constructed in step S4, uniaxial compression simulation is performed at different temperatures to analyze the deformation, breakage and micromechanical behavior of the particles.
[0040] Discrete element simulations of the crystalline polymer particles were performed at the same temperature gradient (30℃ (room temperature), 60℃, 80℃, 100℃, 120℃). Uniaxial compression tests of the molding powder were simulated within the discrete element framework by placing planar loading plates at the top and bottom of the molding powder particles. The molding powder sample diameter was 0.81 mm. The parallel bond contact model parameters between the crystals were calibrated and did not change with temperature. However, considering thermal strain and thermal stress, the contact model between the binder and the crystals adopted the thermo-mechanical coupled bond contact model established above, with the normal-tangential stiffness ratio set to 1. Please refer to the simulation results. Figures 13-17 It can be observed that: microcracks mainly occur at the crystal-binder interface, and shear cracks are more numerous than tensile cracks, which is consistent with experimental phenomena; as the temperature increases, the proportion of frictional energy dissipation increases, indicating that the internal fluidity of the particles is enhanced; the work done by the external environment decreases with increasing temperature, proving that the particles are more easily broken at high temperatures.
[0041] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
