Microscopic parameter calibration method for sandy gravel soil three-axis shearing discrete element model
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of microscopic parameter calibration of discrete element models, and particularly relates to a method for calibrating microscopic parameters of a PFC3D model by three-axis shearing of sandy gravel soil.
Background
At present, sandy gravel strata are widely distributed in Chinese Chengdu, Beijing, Shenyang, Lanzhou and the like. Sand-gravel soil is a general term for discrete debris deposits which are mainly pebbles and gravels and contain a small amount of sand and cohesive soil. The sand-gravel soil has the characteristics of high gravel content, large particle size of single gravel, high compressive strength, low soil body cohesive force, large porosity, strong water permeability and the like, and belongs to a typical mechanical unstable layer. Therefore, many engineering problems occur in the process of constructing underground engineering in the sandy gravel stratum, such as surface subsidence, stratum cavities, sand gushing and water bursting on the tunnel face and the like. Therefore, the research on the physical and mechanical properties of the sand-gravel soil has great engineering significance.
The numerical test has the advantages of low cost, easy repetition and the like and is usually used as a good supplement for the physical test. With the continuous development of Particle Flow (PFC) numerical simulation technology in recent years, the PFC numerical simulation technology can be widely applied to geotechnical mechanical numerical tests because the PFC numerical simulation technology can conveniently treat the mechanical problem of the discontinuous medium. When the numerical simulation research of the particle discrete elements is carried out on the mechanical properties of the sand and pebbles, the microscopic parameters of the particle flow numerical model are calibrated according to the macroscopic mechanical response. Scholars at home and abroad make a great deal of research on the specification of the mesoscopic parameters. The Potyondy et al study found that the maximum to minimum particle size ratio R was found without regard to the particle size distributionmax/RminThe generated model is more uniform and accords with the actual physical and mechanical properties of the rock-soil material when the model is 1.66. Zhao nationality's research finds that the particle diameter ratio (R) is not considered in the case of particle size distributionmax/Rmin) When the range is 1-5, the mechanical property of the model is hardly influenced. Metaphors or the like for the relationship between the model size and the particle sizeThe study found that when the minimum scale of the model RES ═ L/Rmin)[1/(1+Rmax/Rmin)]And when the particle size is more than or equal to 10, the size and the quantity of the particles have small influence on the macroscopic mechanical parameters of the model. Abel et al found that when the porosity was in the range of 0.04 to 0.32, the initial modulus of elasticity, peak stress, cohesion and internal friction angle were not greatly affected. A triaxial numerical test model is established in Weilonghai, and the sand-gravel soil mesoscopic parameters with different compactness are calibrated. Gunn et al introduced a contact bonding model using PFC3D as a tool and analyzed the particle friction coefficient, bonding strength and the effect of particle clusters on the stress-strain curve of coarse-grained soil. The Japeng carries out numerical tests through PFC3D based on indoor test results, and reproduces stress-strain curves of sand and gravel soil with different water contents, densities and coarse-grain contents. Most of the above studies are based on trial and error methods, which are very time consuming.
The scholars develop a great deal of research aiming at the problem that the trial-and-error method is time-consuming and labor-consuming, and certain improvement is carried out. The Hookou adopts an orthogonal test design method to research a mesoscopic parameter calibration method of a parallel bond model, and establishes a relation between macroscopic mechanical parameters and mesoscopic parameters by using regression analysis. Wangjin Wei and the like adopt a method of combining an orthogonal test and an isoline method, and quickly determine the mesoscopic parameters of the rockfill material on the basis of optimizing the value range of the mesoscopic parameters and analyzing the sensitivity of macroscopic response to the mesoscopic parameters. Zhangbao jade and the like research the correlation between the microscopic parameters and the macroscopic parameters of the parallel joint model by adopting an orthogonal numerical test method and provide a rock microscopic parameter calibration process. Yoon and the like establish a linear relation between a macroscopic mechanical index and a microscopic parameter by using PB, examine the interaction between the parameters with obvious influence by using a response surface method, establish a nonlinear relation between the macroscopic mechanical index and the microscopic parameter, and finally convert the problem into a nonlinear multi-objective mathematical programming problem. The research is mostly focused on the problem of calibrating the rock microscopic parameters.
According to the research, the sand-gravel soil microscopic parameter calibration at present mostly adopts a trial-and-error method, and the system deep research is lacked. Therefore, a new method for calibrating the meso-scale parameters of the PFC3D model by three-axis shearing of sandy gravel soil is needed to be designed to overcome the defects in the prior art.
Through the above analysis, the problems and defects of the prior art are as follows: the existing sand-gravel soil microscopic parameter calibration research is mostly based on a trial and error method, the process is time-consuming, and deep system research is lacked.
The difficulty in solving the above problems and defects is:
(1) at present, the value range of macroscopic mechanical parameters of typical sand and pebble soil is lacked;
(2) at present, contact models adopted for typical sandy gravel soil are not uniform, and the value range of microscopic parameters is not clear;
(3) most of the commonly adopted trial-and-error methods are 'parameter collection', which results in that the research on the influence of each microscopic parameter on the macroscopic parameter is not systematic and the understanding is not clear;
(4) calibrating a plurality of macro and meso parameters, and interacting influences exist among the parameters, so that the difficulty in clarifying the relationship between the meso parameters and the macro parameters is high;
(5) at present, numerical tests have unclear numerical test parameter values, and the test process consumes a lot of time;
(6) at present, a calibration method is not available, and the microscopic parameters corresponding to the macroscopic parameters are quickly given. The significance of solving the problems and the defects is as follows: the method of the invention provides a value range of macroscopic mechanical parameters of typical sand and pebble soil based on a large amount of literature research; based on a large number of numerical tests, a microscopic contact model suitable for sandy gravel soil and a value range of microscopic parameters are determined, and reasonable reference values are given to numerical test parameters; the influence of the microscopic parameters on the macroscopic parameters is scientifically analyzed by adopting a mathematical statistical method of orthogonal test and variance analysis; and finally, converting the calibration problem into a multi-objective function optimization problem, and providing a calibration method. The method solves the blindness existing in the calibration process of the trial and error method, solves the problems of time and labor consumption, enables the complicated calibration problem to be converted into the simple mathematical problem, and has important significance for the popularization and the use of discrete elements.

Wherein, the selection of the test indexes and the factor levels comprises the following steps:
(1) selection of test indexes
The calibration of the three-axis shearing microscopic parameters of the particle flow is generally based on the stress-strain relationship and the damage envelope of the PFC model, which are consistent with the results of the indoor test. Therefore, the macro characteristic index selection follows the following principle: firstly, the selected index can be conveniently and easily obtained from the test; secondly, the selected index can better describe the form of the calibrated curve. Selecting an initialModulus of elasticity E

fCohesion c and internal friction angle
And taking four parameters as macro indexes. Meanwhile, the initial elastic modulus E and the peak strength of the sandy gravel soil are closely related to the magnitude of the confining pressure
0Peak intensity σ
fAll are obtained under the condition that the ambient pressure is 300 kPa.
The rule of the influence of each microscopic parameter of the linear contact bonding model on the macroscopic parameter is as follows: the macroscopic elastic modulus is linearly related to the contact effective modulus; the poisson's ratio increases with increasing normal tangential stiffness ratio; the tangential and normal bond strengths and friction coefficients between particles are mainly related to the peak strength; the content of the particle clusters can effectively improve the shear strength. And selecting the effective contact modulus, the normal tangential stiffness ratio, the inter-particle friction coefficient, the bonding shear strength, the bonding tensile strength and the content of the particle cluster as the microscopic parameter indexes of the numerical test based on the conclusion.
(2) Determination of levels of factors in orthogonal experiments
6 microscopic parameters and 4 macroscopic parameters are selected as calibration indexes, and each factor is selected to be four levels. Through numerical tests, the value ranges of the macroscopic parameters under different combinations of the selected factor levels comprise:
initial modulus of elasticity E
0: 10MPa to 100MPa, and the confining pressure is 300 kPa; peak intensity σ
f: 500kPa to 2050kPa, and the confining pressure is 300 kPa; cohesive force c: 0 to 600 kPa; internal friction angle
17°~47°。
The factor level is selected from the following steps:
factor level 1: ec=20MPa,kn/ks=1,μ=0.25,σc=0.25MPa,τc=0.25MPa,clump=25%;
Factor level 2: ec=80MPa,kn/ks=2,μ=0.50,σc=0.50MPa,τc=0.50MPa,clump=50%;
Factor level 3: ec=140MPa,kn/ks=3,μ=0.75,σc=0.75MPa,τc=0.75MPa,clump=75%;
Factor level 4: ec=200MPa,kn/ks=4,μ=1.00,σc=1.00MPa,τc=1.00MPa,clump=100%。
Under the selected factor level, the obtained macroscopic mechanical index range covers the macroscopic force index range of most of the sand-gravel soil.
Further, in step five, the regression analysis includes:
according to the result of the variance analysis, carrying out regression analysis on the significant influence factors and the macroscopic index to obtain the corresponding relation of the macro-microscopic parameters:
E0=0.142Ec-5.4kn/ks+9.83τc+15.87clump+16.41(R2=0.68);
σf=-2.47Ec+985.27μ+631.81τc+653.08clump-5.71(R2=0.903);
c=-1.33Ec+28.08kn/ks+163.68σc+253.86τc-66.61(R2=0.828);
the initial modulus of elasticity increases with increasing contact modulus, bond shear strength and content of particle clusters, and decreases with increasing normal to tangential stiffness ratio; the peak strength is in positive correlation with the friction coefficient, the contact shear strength and the contact tensile strength, and is in negative correlation with the contact modulus; the cohesive force is increased along with the increase of the normal tangential stiffness ratio, the cohesive tensile strength and the cohesive shear strength, and is reduced along with the increase of the contact modulus; the internal friction angle is in positive correlation with the contact modulus, the friction coefficient and the content of the particle clusters.
Further, in the sixth step, the step of converting the calibration problem into a multi-objective function mathematical programming problem to solve and comparing and verifying the problem with the physical test result of typical sand and pebble soil includes optimizing each microscopic parameter of a numerical test by using a multi-objective mathematical programming method based on a regression equation, and includes:
(1) objective function

wherein E is
0、σ

*And
respectively, macroscopic parameters obtained by indoor tests.
(2) Constraint conditions

2. Contact bonding model
The physical and mechanical properties of the rock-soil material are greatly dependent on the contact property between particles, and the contact model is the visual embodiment of the contact property. PFC5.0 provides 10 kinds of built-in contact models to simulate contact properties of rock-soil mass, such as linear contact model (linear), linear contact bond model (linear bond), linear parallel bond model (linear bond), and the like. The linear contact bonding model treats contact bonding as a pair of springs with constant normal and tangential stiffnesses, which also have both normal and tangential tensile strengths. As shown in FIG. 3, the strength parameters of the contact-bonding model include the normal strength Fc nAnd tangential strength Fc s. When the overlapping amount of the adjacent particles is less than zero, the particles generate a pulling force at the contact position due to relative separation, and if the pulling force is greater than Fc nThe contact bonding is subject to tensile failure, at which point both the normal contact force and the tangential contact force become zero. If the tangential force is greater than Fc sShear failure of the contact bond occurs. Compared with a linear model, the parallel bonding model has an inhibiting effect on the sliding behavior among particles, and compared with the parallel bonding model, the contact part can only transmit force but not torque. Many scholars introduce the linear contact model into the parameter calibration of the sandy cobble soil according to the characteristic of the linear contact model, and simulate the embedding and biting action among irregular cobble particles by increasing the bonding strength, thereby obtaining better effect.
The mesoscopic parameters required to be input by the linear contact bonding model include a linear group and a contact bonding group, wherein the linear group comprises: contact effective modulus (E)c) Normal tangential stiffness ratio (k)n/ks) And coefficient of friction (μ). The contact adhesive group includes: bonding control gap, bonding tensile strength (sigma)c) And bond shear strength (τ)c)。
3. Numerical model

The PFC3D is adopted in the numerical test, and three processes of sample preparation, confining pressure application and loading are realized by writing a triaxial shearing program:
(1) preparing a sample: the numerical test does not consider the influence of the grain composition temporarily, and the model size H multiplied by L is 600mm multiplied by 300mm according to geotechnical test standard. The particles take the form of both spheres (ball) and particle clusters (clusters) where a series of spheres are passed through a rigid bedLinked together to effectively increase the interlocking effect between particles), according to the research of the related literature, the L/R is takenmin=30,Rmax/Rmin1.66, porosity n 0.32, particle density 2700kg/m3. The whole test vessel was uniformly filled with the particles by the expansion method, and the number of particles generated was about 20000, as shown in FIG. 4.
(2) Applying confining pressure: in the numerical test of the present invention, three sets of confining pressures of 100kPa, 200kPa and 300kPa were applied to each set of samples, respectively. The constant confining pressure is applied by monitoring the difference between the contact pressure between the sidewall and the particles and the set confining pressure in each calculation step, and adjusting the displacement of the sidewall.
(3) Vertical loading: the loading process is realized by endowing the upper loading plate and the lower loading plate with certain speed, the loading speed cannot be too high, the test sample is kept in a quasi-static state, otherwise, the accuracy of the test result is influenced, and the mechanical property of the sandy gravel soil is related to the loading speed. The loading rate of the invention is 1.2mm/s, and the unbalanced force rate in the sample is found to be less than 1 multiplied by 10 by monitoring in the shearing process-4And the variation amplitude of the confining pressure is not more than 0.3 percent.
(4) And (4) terminating the loading: when the peak value exists, the axial strain of the test should reach 3% -5% of the peak value, and the loading can be stopped. If no peak exists, the loading is stopped when the axial strain reaches 15 percent.
4. Orthogonal test and analysis of variance
4.1 principles of orthogonal experiments
In scientific experiments, factors needing to be investigated and researched are more often, and the level number of the factors is more than two. If a full test is performed with each level of each factor matched to each other, the number of tests will increase exponentially as the number of factors increases. Although the number of tests can be reduced by adopting a simple comparison method, the matching among levels of all factors is not uniform in the test process, the uniformity of data point distribution is not guaranteed, and an erroneous conclusion can be often obtained under the condition. The orthogonal test design can obtain a more reliable test result on the premise of obviously reducing the test times.
The orthogonal table is designed according to the orthogonal principle, is a normalized table, is a cost-saving tool for arranging tests and analyzing test results in the orthogonal design, and is generally Ln(rm) And (4) showing. Wherein L is the code number of the orthogonal table; n is the number of horizontal rows (test times) of the orthogonal table; r is a factor level number; m is the number of columns (the number of factors that can be arranged at most) of the orthogonal table. E.g. orthogonal table L8(27) It shows that there are 8 rows and 7 columns in total, and if it is used to arrange orthogonal tests, a maximum of 7 2-level factors can be arranged, and the number of tests is 8. Several important properties of the orthogonal table: each level appears in any column and occurs the same number of times; all possible combinations of various levels between any two classes occur and occur equally often. The two properties determine the balanced dispersion and comprehensive comparability of the orthogonal test.
4.2 analysis of variance
The analysis of variance can estimate the magnitude of errors, can accurately estimate the importance degree of influence of each factor on the test result, and is commonly used in data analysis of orthogonal tests. The analysis of variance analyzes influence factors influencing the fluctuation of the total variance by decomposing the variance, and the influence factors are divided into intra-group errors and inter-group errors according to the sources of the influence factors. Constructing F by calculating the ratio of the inter-mean square to the intra-mean square of factor AAStatistics, for a given significance level a, find a critical value FαIf F isA>FαThen factor A is considered to have a significant effect on the test results, and FARelative to FαThe larger the factor, the more significantly the effect of the factor on the test results.
If L is adoptedn(rm) Orthogonal table design test with the test result of yi(i ═ 1, 2, … n). The basic steps of analysis of variance are as follows:
(1) calculating the sum of squares of total deviations

For a given significance level α, a threshold value F is foundαIf F isj>FαThen the j factor is considered to have a significant effect on the test results, and FARelative to FαThe larger the factor, the more significantly the effect of the factor on the test results.
4.3 selection of test index and factor level
(1) Selection of test indexes
The calibration of the three-axis shearing microscopic parameters of the particle flow is generally based on the stress-strain relationship and the damage envelope of the PFC model, which are consistent with the results of the indoor test. Therefore, the macro characteristic index selection follows the following principle: firstly, the selected index can be conveniently and easily obtained from the test; secondly, the selected index can better describe the form of the calibrated curve. The stress-strain curve of the sand-gravel soil routine triaxial test has an initial elastic modulus E as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6
0Peak intensity σ
fResidual intensity σ
r(ii) a The indexes for describing the Mohr-coulomb strength envelope include cohesive force c and internal friction angle
And the like. The selection of specific indexes needs to be determined according to the form of the calibration curve and the focus of attention. The invention focuses on the pre-peak behavior of the stress-strain curve of the triaxial shear test, so that the initial elastic modulus E is selected
0Peak intensity σ
fCohesion c and internal friction angle
And taking four parameters as macro indexes. Meanwhile, the initial elastic modulus E and the peak strength of the sandy gravel soil are closely related to the magnitude of the confining pressure
0Peak intensity σ
fAll are obtained under the condition that the ambient pressure is 300 kPa.
Scholars at home and abroad have qualitatively obtained the influence rule of each microscopic parameter of the linear contact bonding model on the macroscopic parameter through research: the macroscopic elastic modulus is linearly related to the contact effective modulus; the poisson's ratio increases with increasing normal tangential stiffness ratio; the tangential and normal bond strengths and friction coefficients between particles are mainly related to the peak strength; the content of the particle clusters can effectively improve the shear strength. According to the invention, based on the conclusion, the effective contact modulus, the normal tangential stiffness ratio, the inter-particle friction coefficient, the bonding shear strength, the bonding tensile strength and the content of particle clusters are selected as the mesoscopic parameter indexes of the numerical test.
(2) Determination of levels of factors in orthogonal experiments
6 microscopic parameters and 4 macroscopic parameters in the table 1 are selected as calibration indexes, and each factor is selected to have four levels. The factor levels were selected as shown in Table 1. Numerical tests show that the values of the macroscopic parameters in different combinations of the selected factor levels are as follows: initial modulus of elasticity E
0: 10MPa to 100MPa (the confining pressure is 300 kPa); peak intensity σ
f: 500kPa to 2050kPa (the confining pressure is 300 kPa); cohesive force c: 0 to 600 kPa; internal friction angle
17 to 47 degrees. Therefore, under the selected factor level, the obtained macroscopic mechanical index range covers the macroscopic force index range of most of sand and gravel soil.

4.2 multifactor analysis of variance
The results of the numerical tests were analyzed for variance, and the analysis results are shown in Table 3. The total sum of squares of deviations, the sum of squares of deviations of the respective factors, and the sum of squares of errors can be calculated according to the equations (1) to (5). The total degree of freedom method f can be calculated according to the formulas (6) to (8)T31, degree of freedom f of each factor j3 and degree of freedom of error f e13. Selecting significance level alpha-0.05 and alpha-0.01, and looking up table to obtain F0.05(3,13)=3.41,F0.01(3,13) ═ 5.74. When F is present0.05<Fj<F0.01Then, factor j is considered to have a significant effect on the test results, denoted as "+; when F is presentj>F0.01When considered, factor j was considered to have a very significant effect on the test results, noted as "×". In order to more intuitively analyze the degree of influence of the test factors on the test index, the analysis of variance results are plotted into a histogram, as shown in fig. 7.

4.3 regression analysis
According to the result of 4.2 variance analysis, regression analysis is carried out on the significant influence factors and the macroscopic index, and the corresponding relation of macro-microscopic parameters can be obtained:
E0=0.142Ec-5.4kn/ks+9.83τc+15.87clump+16.41(R2=0.68) (12)
σf=-2.47Ec+985.27μ+631.81τc+653.08clump-5.71(R2=0.903) (13)
c=-1.33Ec+28.08kn/ks+163.68σc+253.86τc-66.61(R2=0.828) (14)
as can be seen from equation (12), the initial modulus of elasticity increases with increasing contact modulus, bond shear strength and content of particle clusters, and decreases with increasing normal-to-tangential stiffness ratio; from the same equation (13), the relationship in which the peak strength is positively correlated with the friction coefficient, the contact shear strength and the contact tensile strength is negatively correlated with the contact modulus. The cohesive force is increased along with the increase of the normal tangential stiffness ratio, the bond tensile strength and the bond shear strength and is reduced along with the increase of the contact modulus, which is obtained by the formula (14); from the formula (15), the internal friction angle is in a positive correlation with the contact modulus, the friction coefficient and the content of the particle clusters.
5. Calibration process and verification of mesoscopic parameters
5.1 optimization of the mesoscopic parameters
In order to make the macroscopic mechanical indexes obtained by numerical tests and the macroscopic mechanical indexes obtained by indoor tests match as much as possible, the section optimizes each microscopic parameter of the numerical tests by using a multi-objective mathematical programming method based on the regression equation obtained in section 4.3.
(1) Objective function

respectively, macroscopic parameters obtained by indoor tests.
(2) Constraint conditions
Since the regression equation is obtained at a certain factor level, the value range of the mesoscopic parameter needs to be constrained, and the constraint conditions are as follows:
(3) optimization of mesoscopic parameters
For the problem of optimization of the multi-objective function, the fgoalattain function in MATLAB can be adopted for solving. The goal planning problem may be converted to a minimum solving problem by letting the goal matrix goul be 0. By giving an initial value x0And finally optimizing the weight value and the constraint condition to obtain the microscopic parameter.

TABLE 5 Fine parameters of sandy gravel soil calibration results
Fig. 11 shows stress-strain curves of the sand-gravel soil in the laboratory test and the numerical test. It can be seen from the figure that compared with the indoor test, the stress-strain curve obtained by the numerical test has a larger elastic range and a small peak value change, and a certain softening phenomenon can occur along with the increasing of the strain, but the initial elastic modulus, the peak value strength and the curve form of the numerical test result and the physical test result are basically consistent, and the characteristics of the sandy gravel soil can be better simulated.
According to the invention, a sand-gravel-soil triaxial shear numerical model is established through PFC3D, a test numerical test scheme design is carried out by using an orthogonal test method, the influence of 6 mesoscopic parameters of the contact bonding model on the macroscopic mechanical characteristics of the sand-gravel soil is analyzed by using multi-factor variance analysis, and a method for calibrating the mesoscopic parameters of the contact bonding model is provided. The main conclusions are:
(1) the contact bonding model can increase the bonding among the particles to simulate the occlusion effect among the pebble particles, better reappear the result of the indoor test, and can be used for simulating the mechanical properties of the sandy gravel soil; meanwhile, by adding the particle clusters and combining the contact bonding model, the microscopic parameter calibration of the sand-gravel soil can be realized more efficiently.
(2) Through orthogonal test design and multi-factor variance analysis, the sensitivity of the macro-mechanical index of the sandy gravel soil to microscopic parameters is analyzed. The research finds that the initial elastic modulus increases along with the increase of the contact modulus, the bonding shear strength and the content of the particle cluster, and decreases along with the increase of the normal tangential stiffness ratio; the peak strength is in a positive correlation with the coefficient of friction, contact shear strength and contact tensile strength, and in a negative correlation with the contact modulus. The cohesive force is increased along with the increase of the normal tangential stiffness ratio, the cohesive tensile strength and the cohesive shear strength, and is reduced along with the increase of the contact modulus; the internal friction angle is in positive correlation with the contact modulus, the friction coefficient and the content of the particle clusters.

(4) And converting the parameter calibration problem into a multi-objective function optimization problem according to the obtained expression among the macro and micro parameters, and finally solving to obtain the corresponding micro parameters. And finally obtaining the microscopic parameters which are consistent with the indoor test by micro-adjusting the microscopic parameters. The feasibility of the microscopic parameter calibration method is verified.
