Abstract

Se presenta un modelo de elementos discretos o distintos (MED) en la modelizacion del ensayo de traccion indirecta o ensayo brasileno (Brazilian Test). Se realiza una comparacion entre los resultados obtenidos por el MED, con la de otros autores [26,35] que emplean el MEF. Se obtienen buenos resultados en el proceso de simulacion del ensayo brasileno, y la comparacion con el MEF (método de los elementos finitos) es muy efectiva. Se evidencia la similitud fisica que existe entre los resultados obtenidos por el MED y ensayos experimentales, lo que posibilita demostrar la fiabilidad y veracidad de la formulacion realizada. (A). English abstract: This work deals whit the use of the Distinct Element Method (DEM) to simulate an indirect traction test, also known as "the Brazilian test" A comparison is realized between results obtained with the DEM, and those obtained by other authors [26, 35] using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The Brazilian test's simulation gives good results and the comparison is very effective. There is a similarity between the results obtained using the DEM and those obtained from real experiments, similarity which proves the reliability and the veracity of this formulation.
