Discrete element modeling of explosion-induced fracture extension in jointed rock masses
The explosion process of explosives in a borehole applies a very high pressure on its surrounding rock media. This process can initiate and propagate rock fractures, and finally, may result in the rock fragmentation. Rock fragmentation is mainly caused by the propagation of inherent pre-existing fractures of the rock mass and also from the extension of the newly formed cracks within the intact ...
متن کاملNew approach to grain fragmentation for discrete element methods
This article presents a new approach to grain fragmentation, its implementation in a discrete element method code, and an experimental validation. This approach is an improvement, compared with those models currently available in the literature. This new approach includes the use of polygonal particles, an estimation of stresses within the particles, a failure criterion, and a mode of rupture. ...
متن کاملDiscrete Element Modeling of Dynamic Compaction with Different Tamping Condition
Dynamic Compaction (DC) is a common deep compaction method that is usually used for densification of coarse-grained soils. Although traditional continuum-based models such as the Finite Element Method can be successfully applied for assessment of stress distributions or deformations induced by DC, they are typically not adequate for capturing the grain scale mechanisms of soil behavior under im...
متن کاملA Novel Combinatorial Approach to Discrete Fracture Network Modeling in Heterogeneous Media
Fractured reservoirs contain about 85 and 90 percent of oil and gas resources respectively in Iran. A comprehensive study and investigation of fractures as the main factor affecting fluid flow or perhaps barrier seems necessary for reservoir development studies. High degrees of heterogeneity and sparseness of data have incapacitated conventional deterministic methods in fracture network modelin...
متن کاملFracture and fragmentation of simplicial finite element meshes using graphs
An approach for the topological representation of simplicial finite element meshes as graphs is presented. It is shown that by using a graph, the topological changes induced by fracture reduce to a few, local kernel operations. The performance of the graph representation is demonstrated and analyzed, using as reference the three-dimensional fracture algorithm by Pandolfi and Ortiz (Eng. Comput....
