Modelling the Dynamics of Masonry Structures with Discrete Elements
Block models have been shown to provide a realistic representation of the behavior of many types of masonry structures under static and dynamic loads. When the strength of the units is such that movements along the joints govern the behavior, it is acceptable to make the simplifying assumption that blocks act as rigid bodies. This assumption is particularly useful when dealing with seismic prob...
متن کاملNumerical Modelling of Timber Braced Frame Masonry Structures (Dhajji Dewari)
This paper presents numerical modeling technique for Dhajji-Dewari structures (timber-braced rubble stone masonry), and its application for the evaluation of in-plane force-deformation capacity of Dhajji wall panels of different configuration of bracings. Dhajji structures are mainly composed of vertical and horizontal timber posts and braced using diagonal bracings and horizontal studs. Wall o...
متن کاملNSCD∗ method applied to mechanical simulation of masonry in historical buildings using MOMA∗∗
This paper introduces a new approach for the mechanical modelling of historical monuments built of blocks. The computational method, * Non Smooth Contact Dynamics (NSCD), is used to simulate masonry as a large collection of bodies under unilateral constraints and frictional contact. The computational method, NSCD, within an architectural and archeological model, MOMA, **Models and Opticals Meas...
متن کاملMesoscale Modelling of Masonry Structures using Mesh Tying
This paper presents an accurate and efficient computational strategy for the simulation of coupled masonry structures which combines a partitioned mesoscale modelling approach for brick-masonry components with a mortar mesh tying method for non-conforming interfaces. This allows the independent modelling of the individual structural components and the efficient tying of the subdomains with accu...
متن کاملGranular element method for three-dimensional discrete element calculations
This paper endows the recently-proposed granular element method (GEM) with the ability to perform 3D discrete element calculations. By using non-uniform rational B-Splines to accurately represent complex grain geometries, we proposed an alternative approach to clustering-based and polyhedra-based discrete element methods whereby the need for complicated and ad hoc approaches to construct 3D gra...
