The present application relates to the technical field of granular
mechanics research, and particularly relates to a
force chain visualization model device and method based on a force-induced luminescent
particle system. The device comprises a full-transparent shear box, a
liquid crystal micro-control ring shear instrument, an upper compression disc, a lower compression disc, a displacement meter and a
camera module. The lower compression disc is connected to the
liquid crystal micro-control ring shear instrument, and the bottom of the full-transparent shear box is fixed to the lower compression disc. 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, the upper compression disc is placed on the upper surface of the particle
system, the displacement meter is arranged on the top of the upper compression disc, and the
camera module is erected in the horizontal direction of the full-transparent shear box and is aligned with the particle
system. The present application realizes real-time
dynamic visualization of the
contact force between particles and the distribution of force chains. The present application overcomes the limitations of traditional technologies on particle materials, sizes and shapes, and is suitable for multiphase and multi-scale particle systems. The present application provides a low-cost and easy-to-operate experimental platform, and serves the researches on
geotechnical engineering and granular
mechanics.
