Abstract
This study describes a method for establishing a mechanical model of heterogeneous finite element method. With the combination of digital image recognition technology and the theory of automatic mesh generation, it is possible to establish an inhomogeneous finite element model for mechanical calculation. Firstly, the micro-structure of the two-dimensional mixture is identified. Then all the boundary points are imported into ANSYS. Finally, the finite element mesh model of the micro-structure of the asphalt mixture is obtained by using the automatic finite element mesh generation technology. Taking Marshall specimen as an example, meshing the model proves that the method is feasible.Keywords
