The dynamic behaviors of railway ballast under cyclic loading are simulated with discrete element method (DEM). Dilated polyhedra are constructed based on the Minkowski sum operator in order to resemble the irregular shapes of ballast particles. The polyhedral particle generation, contact detection between particles and contact laws are presented. Ballast box tests with periodic lateral boundaries...
A simple modification to an existing constitutive model for SMA materials is proposed to include the effects of loading frequency. The proposed model is based on the behaviour of experimental results of SMA wires subjected to cyclic strains. Numerical simulations based on the modified constitutive model show good qualitative agreement with experimental results. The influence of loading frequency,...
