Advice on brittle material simulation
Hi all,
I'm trying to simulate an assembly of sintered glass powder of varying grain size (100 - 200 micron) and a high porosity of ~40%, through physical testing I've determined the assembly to have approx. Young's modulus of 0.1 - 0.2 GPa and UCS of 1 - 2 MPa. I'm using RandomBoxPack to make the assembly and played around with BrittleBeamPrms a bit but I've had no luck so far having the modulus and UCS agree agree at the same time, can I use a different assembly method to create the high porosity effect? Also I'm not sure what range of values I can use for cohesion.
Once again thanks to everyone working on ESyS it has an excellent tutorial and has helped me learned a great deal on DEM.
Thanks,
Juan
