Simulation of Motion Behavior of Concrete in Pump Pipe by DEM by Ji Hao, Caiyun Jin, Yue Li, Zigeng Wang, Jianglin Liu, Hongwen Li

“…In this paper, the mesocalibration test was used to measure the contact parameters (restitution coefficient, rolling friction coefficient, static friction coefficient, and surface energy) between coarse aggregate particles and mortar particles in Discrete Element Method (DEM) model of concrete. Then, the DEM model of concrete slump was established according to the coarse aggregate gradation to study the flow behavior of coarse aggregate in fresh concrete. …”
