New question #682985 on Yade:

Hello, everyone!

I'm trying to take a constant-p simulation under different b(intermediate 
principal stress ratio) with Yade but the result seems to be a bit strange. I 
used non-spherical clumped particle consisting of two identical spheres and 
periodic boundary condition. And this is the Stress ratio-Deviation strain 
curve with different b.

As you can see, when b=0.0 and 1.0, the curve is quite normal whose stress 
ratio  has a peak and then drops, becomes steady. But when b=0.25 and 0.25, 
after the peak, the stress ratio drops and then rises. The residual value of it 
is even higher than the stress ratio when deviation strain is 0.3.

In my mind, this phenomenon would not happen in reality. Actually, some 
researchers also do constant-p simulation with PFC-3D or Liggghts, but their 
results didn't show this phenomenon.

Looking forward to your help, Thanks!

This is parts of my code:

O.engines=[
        ForceResetter(),
        InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb()]),
        InteractionLoop(
                [Ig2_Sphere_Sphere_ScGeom()],
                [Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys()],
                [Law2_ScGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack()]
        ),
        PeriTriaxController(label='triax',
                # specify target values and whether they are strains or stresses
                goal=(sigmaIso1,sigmaIso1,sigmaIso1),stressMask=7,
                # type of servo-control
                dynCell=True,maxStrainRate=(10,10,10),
                # wait until the unbalanced force goes below this value
                maxUnbalanced=0.01,relStressTol=1e-3,
                # call this function when goal is reached and the packing is 
stable
                doneHook='compactionFinished1()'
        ),
        NewtonIntegrator(damping=.2),
        PyRunner(command='check()',iterPeriod=100),
]
O.dt=.5*PWaveTimeStep()

def compactionFinished():
        O.cell.trsf=Matrix3.Identity
        triax.goal=(sigmaIso,sigmaIso,-.8)
        triax.stressMask=3
        triax.maxStrainRate=(1.,1.,.01)
        triax.doneHook='triaxFinished()'
        O.engines = O.engines + 
[PyRunner(command='history()',iterPeriod=200,label='recorder')]
        O.engines = O.engines + 
[PyRunner(command='changeGoalStress()',iterPeriod=50,label='checker')]
        triax.maxUnbalanced=10


def changeGoalStress():
    s11=-triax.stress[0]
    s22=-triax.stress[1]
    s33=-triax.stress[2]
    r=-((b + 1.0) * s33 -1 * 3 * 100000) / (b - 2.0)
    s=-((1.0 - 2 * b ) * s33 + (b - 1) * 3 * 100000) / (b - 2.0)
    triax.goal=(r,s,-0.8)
