Abstract

AbstractThe numerical simulation of particles that can be used as crash absorbers, for example, in ship collisions, is of high interest, as experimental investigation is often associated with high costs. After extensive studies on the breakage of single‐particles, the focus is now on the investigation of multi‐particle simulation. Although many parameter studies have been carried out for single‐particle compression tests, their results cannot be transferred to multi‐particle compression tests. The influence of various simulation parameters differs greatly between single and multiple particles due to the interaction between individual granules. Therefore, it is necessary to repeat the parameter studies with respect to these interactions in order to gain a better insight into the bulk behaviour of granular materials, which can then be used for the simulation of particle‐enhanced collisions.
