[Question #255528]: uniaxial compression test of particulate material

 

New question #255528 on Yade:

Dear YADE users,

I am trying to do a simulation about an uniaixial compression test of particulate material and the task can be described as follow.

(1) The material is composed of particles which are bounded together.

(2) The bound between particles needs to have resistance from normal, shear, rotation and twist motions (i.e. normal stiffness, shear stiffness, rotation stiffness and twist stiffness).

(3) Creation of compound particles namely pair of particles between which the stiffnesses are very high so that the bond can not break.

(4) Before each run the number of compound particles can be increased without changing the initial configuration of the particles.

(5) Performing an unaxial compression test to the material and draw the stress-strian curve including post-peak

I have almost no experience in YADE. So my first question is whether all the above tasks can be achieved in YADE and if so what procedure should I follow to perform this simulation.

Any help will be appreciated.
