Abstract
The effect of compound particles – pairs of particles rigidly connected to each other and moment stresses on failure of granulate materials in compression was investigated by using discrete element modelling software Particle Flow Code 2D. Microscopic shear failure was excluded by setting shear strength of particle bonds 7 times higher than the tensile strength. It was found that by adding compound particles the peak stress, crack damage stress and Young’s modulus increase and the fracture pattern changed. When moment stress was ignored the peak stress increased 4 times and localisation in fracture patterns was not observable. This suggests that it is the effect of tensile moment stresses can induce the formation of fracture patterns of the shear band type.
