Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2022 Particle morphology has great influence on mechanical behaviour and hydro/thermal/electrical conductivities of granular materials. Surface reconstruction and mesh generation are critical to consider realistic particle shapes in various computational ...

GPU based parallel FDEM for analysis of cable structures
Građevinar, 2017 A combined finite-discrete element method, adapted for the analysis of a parallel cable element model using graphic cards, is presented in the paper. The basic objective is to speed up sequential computation time by one or two orders of magnitude.

MODELING THE BRAZILIAN TENSILE STRENGTH TEST OF LIGNITE FROM PESTEANA OPENPIT MINE USING THE COMBINED FINITE-DISCRETE ELEMENT METHOD – FDEM [PDF]
Fiabilitate şi Durabilitate, 2023 Strength is the property of rocks to keep their internal structure unmodified and not deform under the action of a stress. Tensile strength is defined as the maximum tensile stress the rock can endure until its failure and it is usually lower than ...
