Yade

Breakage bibliography and examples

Asked by bruna

Hi all.

I am trying to simulate breakage of particles in yade. I am having some troubles because I am unable to make particles formed by agglomerates that breaks under defined condition. One of my problems is that I am not able to apply different interactions between the particles of the sample and the spheres that form one particle. Does the yade accept two or more types of interaction in the same simulation? If yes, how could I define that a number of spheres is my particle and make it interact with other particles also formed by a number of particles?

Is there any recomended bibliography that I can follow to try making the breakage of particle formed by agglomerates?
Also is there any examples that somebody has already made?

In advance, thanks a lot for all contribution and for the patience.

Bruna.

Hi Bruna,

Yes, Yade supports "more types of interactions". The idea is such that you
first create cohesive bonds inside agglomerate, than change material of all
particles (which has no effect on existing interactions, but new contacts
will be based on new materials).
So you will have existing interactions making the agglomerates cohesive,
but new interactions between agglomerates will have different properties.
See [1], answer #3 to get some feeling.

for one option how to prepare such simulation, see and try
yade/examples/agglomerate or [2] if it is what you want. There is not
breaking, but changing input material parameters could make it.

cheers
Jan
