    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus for generating a recipe for a concrete mixture, comprising: obtaining an optical characterization of a set of particles; determining, based on the optical characterization, physical characteristics of the set of particles; generating a multispherical approximation of the set of particles; selecting, based on the physical characteristics of the set of particles and from a database of performance rules, performance rules applicable to the set of particles; predicting performance of a proposed recipe for a concrete mixture formed from the set of particles by: determining a wet flowability rating of the proposed recipe based on the selected performance rules; and determining a dry packing rating of the proposed recipe based on the multispherical approximation; iteratively altering the proposed recipe and predicting performance of the altered proposed recipe until the predicted performance satisfies performance criteria to obtain a final recipe; and outputting the final recipe.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for simulating a concrete mixture. One of the methods includes obtaining an optical characterization of physical particles, generating a multispherical approximation of the physical particles, the multispherical approximation having reduced dimensionality compared to the optical characterization, simulating an aggregate mixture by applying the multispherical approximation of the particles to a physics simulator to obtain a predicted performance of the proposed aggregate mixture, selectively altering the aggregate mixture based on a comparison with performance metrics and simulating the altered aggregate mixture until the predicted performance satisfies the performance metrics to obtain a final aggregate mixture, and outputting the final aggregate mixture
