Question #691171 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/691171
Status: Needs information => Open Hanying Zhang gave more information on the question: Hi Jan, > what does "uniform" mean? the same sizes? uniformly distributed sizes? uniformly distributed orientations? "uniform" means that the possibility of the position of fibers occurring in the specimen is equal at every spot. and there are different sizes of fibers, the orientations of the fibers are random, just like a real specimen that you mix fibers with sand well, fibers' position are uniform and the orientations are random. > Alternatively you can approximate the cylinder as a clump made of spheres. I want to simulate quartz sand which was reinforced with discrete polypropylene fibers with the average dimensions 12 mm in length, 0.0015 mm in diameter, and with specific density of 0.91, tensile strength of 460 MPa and elastic modulus of 3.5 MPa. The fiber content used in the experiments was 0.15, 0.25, 0.35 and 0.5% by weight of sand. The specimens were statically compacted in three layers into a 39.1 mm diameter by 80 mm high split mold. "the average dimensions 12 mm in length, 0.0015 mm in diameter" I think its not working with clumps. thank you soooooo much, waiting for your reply. xxxe -- You received this question notification because your team yade-users is an answer contact for Yade. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : yade-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
