Applications of micropolar SPH in geomechanics

Applications of Virtual Reality in Geomechanics

The concept of virtual reality is a very powerful tool for enhancing the human perception of complex threedimensional information. The field of geomechanics is predestined for such an application since we are not only dealing with complex 3-D information about excavation geometries and geological features but also may be interested in displaying results of numerical simulations which may by the...

Nano and Neutron Science Applications for Geomechanics

Recent advances in experimental characterization techniques offer unique opportunities to evaluate mechanical properties of geomaterials. In this paper, authors introduce two such techniques that have significant potential to impact geomechanics community. The technique of using Instrumented indentation testing using nano-indenter to evaluate hardness and modulus of individual sand particles is...

The Emerging Use of SPH In Biomedical Applications

Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics is a fast, parallel, modular and low-memory method originally developed for astrophysical applications in three dimensions. In recent years, it has been used for 3D biomedical applications as well. It has proved to be useful in the field of biomedical engineering mostly because the geometries used need to be often patient-specific and therefore complex. Complicat...
