Abstract

The discrete element method (DEM) is used for continuous material modeling. The method is based on discretizing mass material into small elements, usually spheres, which are linked to their neighbours through bonds. If DEM has shown today its ability to model isotropic materials, it is not yet the case of anisotropic media. This study highlights the obstacles encountered when modeling orthotropic materials. In the present application, the elements used are spheres and bonds are Euler-Bernoulli beams developed by André et Al. [1]. Two different modeling approaches are considered: cubic regular arrangements, where discrete elements are placed on a regular Cartesian lattice, and random sphere packed arrangements, where elements are randomly packed. As the second approach is by definition favoring the domain’s isotropy, a new method to affect orientation-dependent Young’s modulus of bonds is proposed to create orthotropy. Domains created by both approaches are loaded in compression in-axis (along the material orthotropic directions) and off-axis to determine their effective Young’s modulus according to the loading direction. Results are compared to the Hankinson model which is especially used to represent high orthotropic behavior such as encountered in wood or synthetic fiber materials. For this class of materials, it is shown that, contrary to cubic regular arrangements, the random sphere packed arrangements exhibit difficulties to reach highly orthotropic behavior (in-axis tests). Conversely, this last arrangements display results closer to continuous orthotropic material during off-axis tests.
