The plasma in the eolian sand, included silt particle and clay particle, change easily and hugely. For studying their influences on the strength property of eolian sand, mixed silt particles and clay particles into eolian sand in different proportions to measure the internal friction angle and cohesion under different forming and testing conditions. The result indicates that: for the same kind of test specimen under different test types, the changes of cohesion and internal friction coefficient are regular. For the same test type, the changes of both cohesion and internal friction coefficient of different test specimens are regular. Generally, when the content of silt particles and clay particles is lower than a certain value, the cohesion and internal friction coefficient increase accordingly and rapidly along with the increase of silt particles and clay particles; after the content of silt particles and clay particles is larger than this value, the cohesion and internal friction coefficient increase slowly or decline along with the increase of silt particles and clay particles. The change range of this value is approximately between 45%~65%, the content of silt particles and clay particles. For the purpose of this test, as to the transition of test specimens from typical sandy soil to fine grained soil caused by the increase of silt particles and clay particles, the change point of strength is at 45% approximately, which is basically consistent with the compacting test and CBR test, etc.

A three-dimensional combined finite-discrete element element method (FDEM), parallelized by a general-purpose graphic-processing-unit (GPGPU), was applied to identify the fracture process of rough concrete–rock joints under direct shearing. The development process of shear resistance under the complex interaction between the rough concrete–rock joint surfaces, i.e., asperity dilatation, sliding, and degradation, was numerically simulated in terms of various asperity roughness under constant normal confinement. It was found that joint roughness significantly affects the development of overall joint shear resistance. The main mechanism for the joint shear resistance was identified as asperity sliding in the case of smoother joint roughness and asperity degradation in the case of rougher joint asperity. Moreover, it was established that the bulk internal friction angle increased with asperity angle increments in the Mohr–Coulomb criterion, and these results follow Patton’s theoretical model. Finally, the friction coefficient in FDEM appears to be an important parameter for simulating the direct shear test because the friction coefficient affects the bulk shear strength as well as the bulk internal friction angle. In addition, the friction coefficient of the rock–concrete joints contributes to the variation of the internal friction angle at the smooth joint than the rough joint.

In order to reduce the power consumption of screw conveyor and to improve the productivity, this study investigated such mechanical characteristics of rubbed maize straw as coefficient of sliding friction, angle of repose, internal friction coefficient, cohesion, flow function value and compressible coefficient with respect to its moisture content and density. An experiment was designed and consists of a sliding friction characteristic test-bed, a direct shear apparatus, a self-made device with adjustable density and compression. The results showed that: the coefficient of sliding friction increases with the increase of moisture content and density; the angle of repose and internal friction coefficient each increases with increasing moisture content respectively; there is no significant effect between the moisture content and the cohesion of rubbed maize straw; the flow function value goes up with the increase of the moisture content; also the increase of the moisture content leads to the increased bulk density due to the reduced materials gap and the increased compression coefficient, which makes it hard to compress. The equation of pressure and density was found, and it is suitable for the analysis of compression characteristic of rubbed maize straw. The research results lay a theoretical foundation and a basis for the further study on mechanical properties of maize straw.

Abstract The present work proposes that there is internal friction and compressive deformation in the primary zone. Mathematical model was established, in which the internal friction coefficient and some compressive characteristics of serrated chips were calculated. High-speed orthogonal cutting experiment was performed on SiCp/Al composites at cutting speeds of 10–350 m/min and feed rates of 0.07–0.12 mm/r. The internal friction and compressive deformation in the primary zone were investigated by combing results obtained in the experiments with the mathematical model. The internal friction coefficient (0.21–0.47), compressive stress (185.4 MPa–226.9 MPa), and compressive strain rate (0.013×104 /s–0.554×104 /s) increased with increasing cutting speed. However, the compression value (17.3 µm–50.0 µm) and compressive strain (0.18–0.26) decreased with the cutting speed.

Diatomite is a powdering mineral mainly composed of diatom microfossils present in marine and lacustrine soils, which influences their physical and mechanical properties. Although many articles have been found in the literature concerning the influence of diatomite in the overall behavior of natural soils, few research efforts have been carried out to evaluate the influence of the diatom microfossil species on their shear resistance. Therefore, in this research, the influence of the diatomite species and the content in the peak and the residual shear strength of diatomite-fine grained soil mixtures was analyzed using the annular shear strength test. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Atterberg limits were also carried out as additional tests to explain the interlocking effect between the microfossils and the soil. Overall, both diatomite species increased both peak and residual shear strength of the soil similar to dense sands. Nevertheless, the Mexican species reveal higher friction angle values compared with Colombian species.

Abstract Exploration on the transient evolution of the rheological properties of dense granular inertial flow is essential for revealing how the balance is established between the boundary drive strength and the internal shear strength. In this paper, discrete element method simulations are performed to study the transient flow characteristics of a dense granular system under plane shear in the inertial regime. To this end, we quantitatively analyze the changes in the system’s flow state, interfacial friction coefficient, internal friction coefficient, and microstructure. Simulation results show that the evolution of the horizontal flow experiences three typical stages, namely transmission, adjustment, and stabilization. Meanwhile, the shear dilatancy caused by the vertical movement of particles, gradually loosens the filling state, weakens the spatial geometric constraint and the system’s tangential load-bearing capacity, thereby decreasing the interfacial friction coefficient and reducing the boundary drive strength. On the other hand, the variations in the anisotropies of both contact orientation and contact forces, increase the internal friction coefficient and improve the internal shear strength. Therefore, the evolution of flow state from initially static to finally stable reduces the boundary drive strength while enhances the internal shear strength, and eventually a balance between them is achieved. Distinguished from the micromechanical behaviors, under different shear velocities the internal shear strength always mainly originates from the anisotropies in contact orientation and in normal contact force. Moreover, the contribution of the anisotropy in contact orientation becomes more predominant with the increase of shear velocity.
