Abstract
En 中文
The work is devoted to a coupling method for the finite element method (FEM) and the distance potential discrete element method. In this work, a well-defined distance potential function is developed. Meanwhile, a holonomic and precise algorithm for contact interaction is established, accounting for the influence of the tangential contact force. In addition, the measurement of deformation behaviors of each discrete element is handled by the FEM, where the coupling model and the conversion method of the equivalent nodal force accounting for the influence of contact forces are proposed to generate the corresponding equations of motion. Finally, the velocity verlet algorithm is applied enabling the significant simplification for the calculation of the equations of motion. The proposed approach provides an accurate contact interaction avoiding the influence of the element shape and reflect the movement procedure of multiple deformable bodies precisely. This viewpoint is proved by the classical benchmark cases.
