Within the framework of numerical algorithms for the threedimensional
random packing of granular materials this work presents an
innovative formulation for polydispersed ellipsoidal particles, including
an overlapping detection algorithm for an optimized simulation of the
mesostructure of geomaterials, particularly concrete.
Granular composite cement-based materials can be so reconstructed with
adequate precision in terms of grain size distribution. Specifically, the
algorithm performance towards the assumed inclusion shape (ellipsoidal or
spheric) and degree of regularity (round or irregular) is here discussed.
Examples on real grading curves prove that this approach is effective.
The advantages of the proposed method for computational mechanics
purposes are also disclosed when properly interfaced with visualization
