| description | A new 3D mesoscale computational approach to simulate the mechanical behavior of soil–rock mixtures (SRMs) with the consideration of the grain-crushing process is proposed in this study. The proposed approach adopts a random SRM mesostructure generation algorithm to create a random SRM structure. Based on the generated mesostructure, the whole simulation area is divided into discrete cubic numbers, and the mesostructure is transformed into a material distribution matrix as an input for the computational approach. The computational approach is achieved by the coupling calculation of Matlab and COMSOL. Theimulations are presented alongside experimental data to validate the efficiency of the proposed approach. The simulation results indicate that the proposed computational approach can accurately capture the mechanical behavior of SRMs under loadings. This method helps to predict the physical properties of SRMs and has promising applications in engineering. |
