Evolution of shape fabric of rigid objects in large-strain numerical experiments
摘要
Numerical experiments using a discrete element method (DEM) are carried out to explore the long-term evolution of shape preferred orientation (SPO) of numerical specimens under large-strain (shear strain > 20) environment. The numerical specimens are the mixtures of matrix and rectangular rigid objects (aspect ratio of 2.33) with area percentages of 10%, 28%, and 49%, respectively. A ring shear rig was chosen to simulate simple shearing flow. The developments of SPO of rigid objects are examined with two statistical parameters of intensity (κ) and maximum preferred orientation (
