Abstract

Two granular systems (I and II) corresponding to oxide nanopowders having different agglomeration tendency are simulated by the granular dynamics method. The particle size is 10 nm. The interaction of particles involves the elastic forces of repulsion, the tangential forces of “friction”, the dispersion forces of attraction, and in the case of II system the opportunity of creation/destruction of hard bonds of chemical nature. The processes of the uniaxial compaction, the biaxial (radial) one, the isotropic one, the compaction combined with shear deformation as well as the pure shear deformation are studied. The effect of the positive dilatancy is revealed in the processes of shear deformation. The yield surfaces of nanopowders are constructed in the space of stress tensor invariants, i.e., the hydrostatic pressure and the deviator intensity. It is revealed that the form of the yield surfaces is similar to an ellipse, which is shifted along the hydrostatic axis to compressive pressures. The associated flow rule is analyzed. The nonorthogonality of the deformation vectors to the yield surface is established in both systems modeled.
