The invention relates to the technical field of particle
mechanics research, in particular to a
force chain visualization model device and method based on a
mechanoluminescence particle system. The device comprises a full-transparent shear box, a
liquid crystal micro-control ring shear instrument, an upper pressure plate, a lower pressure plate, a displacement meter and a
camera module, the lower pressure plate is connected to the
liquid crystal micro-control ring shear instrument, the bottom of the full-transparent shear box is fixed to the lower pressure plate, the full-transparent shear box is filled with force-induced luminescent particles to form a
particle system, the upper surface of the
particle system is flattened, and the displacement meter is arranged on the upper surface of the particle
system. The upper pressure plate is placed on the upper surface of the particle
system, the displacement meter is arranged at the top of the upper pressure plate, and the
camera module is erected in the horizontal direction of the full-transparent shear box and aligned to the particle
system. According to the invention, real-time
dynamic visualization of
contact force and
force chain distribution among particles is realized; the limitation of the traditional technology on particle materials, sizes and shapes is overcome, and the method is suitable for multiphase and multiscale particle systems; the experimental platform which is low in cost and easy to operate is provided and serves
geotechnical engineering and particle
mechanics research.
