Abstract

In order to reveal the force transmission features of the granules in the solid granule medium forming (SGMF) technology, the frictional characteristics of the non-metallic granule medium (NGM) under high pressure were investigated by tests and simulations. And the relevant changing curves of the internal friction coefficient of the granular system under different normal pressures were obtained by self-designed shear test. By the granule volume compression test, the accurate discrete element simulation parameters were obtained, based on this, the discrete element method (DEM) was adopted to reveal the evolution law of the NGM granules movement in the sample shear process from the microscopic view. Based on the DEM, the influence of granule diameter, surface friction coefficient, normal pressure and shear velocity on the internal friction coefficient of the granular system were studied. And the parameters were conducted to be dimensionless by introducing the inertia coefficient. Finally, the expression showing power-law relationship of inertia coefficient, surface friction coefficient and internal friction coefficient is obtained.
