Status: Open => Answered
Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hello,
in the original script [1] (I guess?), stress-strain history is stored during
the simulation using plot module [2].
Once having the stress-strain curve, the initial slope determines Young's
modulus and its maximum/minimum value defines tensile / compressive strength.
The Poisson's ratio is somewhat more tricky, you would need to compute lateral
displacement of particles and convert it to strain, then maybe by some
averaging compute average lateral strain (I guess particles at the surface and
those very close to the axis would corrupt the results and should not be
considered, you would need to try).
Alternatively you can modify the test for uniaxial strain conditions
(oedometric test), compute oedometric module and comparing it to the Young's
modulus value you can determine Poisson's ratio. Or using triaxial stress
determine the bulk modulus again compute Poisson's ratio comparing it to the
value of Young's modulus.
A nice training would be to compare both (strain based and stiffness based)
approaches :-)
> I don't know either which other macro parameters could be determined
you can get pretty much information, e.g. as mentioned tensile and compressive
strength.
First you should know what and why you simulate and what results you want to
extract. E.g. usually a simulation models a physical experiment and you compare
simulation and experimental results.
cheers
