Numerical model for solid-like and fluid-like behavior of granular flows
1Institute of Geotechnical Engineering, Boku University, Feistmantelstraße 4, 1180 Vienna, Austria.
Abstract:
We propose a constitutive model for both the solid-like and fluid-like behavior of granular materials by decomposing the stress tensor into quasi-static and collisional components. A hypoplastic model is adopted for the solid-like behavior in the quasi-static regime, while the viscous and dilatant behavior in the fluid-like regime is represented by a modified rheology model. This model effectively captures the transition between solid-like and fluid-like flows. Performance and validation of the proposed model are demonstrated through numerical simulations of element tests.
