Abstract
A method for concurrent multiscale computational modeling of interfacial mechanics between granular materials and deformable solid bodies is presented. It involves two main features: (1) coupling discrete element and higher order continuum finite element regions via an overlapping region; and (2) implementation of a finite strain micromorphic pressure sensitive plasticity model as the higher order continuum model in the overlap region. The third main feature, adaptivity, is not currently addressed, but is considered for future work. Single phase (solid grains) and dense conditions are limitations of the current modeling. Extensions to multiple phases (solid grains, pore liquid and gas) are part of future work. Applications include fundamental grain-scale modeling of interfacial mechanics between granular soil and tire, tool, or penetrometer, while properly representing far field boundary conditions for quasi-static and dynamic simulation.
