[en] SIMULATION OF THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF RAIL BALLAST BY DISCRETE ELEMENT METHOD / [pt] SIMULAÇÃO DO COMPORTAMENTO MECÂNICO DE LASTRO FERROVIÁRIO PELO MÉTODO DOS ELEMENTOS DISCRETOS

ALAN BORGES DA SILVA 29 January 2019 (has links)
[pt] Considerando o investimento do governo federal na expansão da malha ferroviária com o programa de aceleração do crescimento (PAC2) e com o programa de investimento em logística (PIL), vem sendo desenvolvidas no país inúmeras pesquisas envolvendo ferrovias, inclusive na área de materiais, como o lastro ferroviário, objeto de estudo deste projeto. Paralelamente, pesquisas com foco em modelagem computacional vem sendo desenvolvidas a fim de otimizar a avaliação do comportamento dos materiais. O projeto tem como objetivo desenvolver modelos computacionais para avaliar a capacidade do método dos elementos discretos em reproduzir o comportamento mecânico de lastro ferroviário submetido a carregamentos cíclicos, com base em um ensaio triaxial cíclico. O ensaio analisou o comportamento mecânico de duas distribuições granulométricas de lastro ferroviário, sendo a primeira sugerida por Indraratna et al. (2004), referente a alterações para melhorias da normativa australiana, enquanto a segunda, utiliza a normativa brasileira. O modelo computacional foi desenvolvido no software WooDEM (2012). Foram realizadas análises mecânicas do comportamento do lastro ferroviário considerando as coordenadas das partículas em relação ao tempo e a profundidade, a fim de determinar o deslocamento gerado pelo carregamento cíclico. / [en] Considering the federal government s investment in the expansion of the railway network with the growth acceleration program (PAC2) and with the investment in logistics program (PIL), numerous surveys involving railways have been developed in the country, including in the area of materials, such as the rail ballast, object of study of this project. In parallel, research focused on computational modeling has been developed in order to optimize the evaluation of the behavior of materials. This dissertation aims to develop computational models to evaluate the ability of the discrete element method to reproduce the mechanical behavior of cyclically loaded rail ballast, based on a cyclic triaxial test. The study analyzed the mechanical behavior of two rail ballast granulometric distributions, the first being suggested by Indraratna et al. (2004), regarding changes to improve Australian regulations, while the second, uses the Brazilian legislation. The computational model was developed in WooDEM software (2012). Mechanical analysis of the rail ballast behavior was performed considering the coordinates of the particles in relation to time and depth in order to determine the displacement generated by the cyclic loading.
