“…Studies [29][30][31][32][33][34][35] have shown that the DEM has a high degree of consistency in simulating the mechanical properties of irregular particles. The microscale has been explored in prior studies [36][37][38][39], and the connection between the microscale and macroscale has been somewhat clarified.…”

This paper employs the discrete element method (DEM) to study the mechanical properties of artificial crushed stone. Different grain shapes and gradations are considered, and three types of 3D artificial stone models are generated based on the statistical conclusions in the relevant literature and the observed data. Concurrently, the 3D models of the artificial stones are divided into three groups by their shape parameters (elongation index and flatness index). Furthermore, three types of gradation with different Cu (coefficient of uniformity) and Cc (coefficient of curvature) are also considered. Then, several 3D triaxial compression tests are conducted with the numerical methods to determine the relationship between the grain shapes and their mechanical characteristics. The test results showed that there was a positive correlation between a particles’ angularities and the maximum deviatoric stress in the triaxial compression tests when there were obvious distinctions between the particles. In addition, gradations had a conspicuous impact on the stiffness of the sample. The stress–strain curve possessed a larger slope when the coefficient of curvature was bigger. In terms of shear strength, the results in this paper align well with the traditional shear strength envelope which are convincing for the dependability of the methods used in this paper. The radial deformation capacity and volume strain of the specimen during the triaxial compression tests are also examined. It is believed that there were great differences in deformability between different samples. At the mesoscopic level, the change in coordination number is identified as the fundamental reason for the change in volume strain trend.
