Hong Quan Sun, Jing Zhang, Qian Yang · Advanced materials research · 2012
The random aggregate model was used to simulate the structure of concrete, and microscopic damage and crack of concrete in splitting tensile tests were simulated by Finite Element Method. The process of splitting tensile damage for concrete was studied. The result shows that the method of numerical simulation based on random aggregate model is mainly feasible, and the surface between concrete aggregate and mortar is the weak part
