Simulating energy method for grout-induced crack analysis of rock structures at Chadormalu mine by extended finite element method
Fracture mechanics is a vital component involved in studying the exact behavior of rock materials. Detection and assessment of the behavior of rock joints injected by grout plays an important role in numerical modelling in rock mechanic projects. The importance of mechanisms associated with initiation and propagation of cracks due to hydraulic fracturing has led to a considerable interest in in...
متن کاملAppropriate Loading Techniques in Finite Element Analysis of Underground Structures
Stability of underground structures is assessed by comparing rock strength with induced stresses resulted from ground stresses. Rock mass surrounding the opening may fail either by fracture or excessive deformation caused. Accurate calculation of induced stresses is therefore fundamental in the stability analysis of an opening. Although numerical methods, particularly finite element method, are...
متن کاملA Nonlinear Interface Element for 3D Mesoscale Analysis of Brick-Masonry Structures
This paper presents a novel interface element for the geometric and material nonlinear analysis of unreinforced brick-masonry structures. In the proposed modelling approach, the blocks are modelled using 3D continuum solid elements, while the mortar and brick-mortar interfaces are modelled by means of the 2D nonlinear interface element. This enables the representation of any 3D arrangement for ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Axisymmetric and Non-Axisymmetric Stretching of Sheet Metals by the Finite Element Method
Stretching process of sheet metals in both cases of axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric is analyzed. A rigid-plastic, normal anisotrop material is assumed and large strain formulation is applied. Triangular elements are used and stiffness equations of elements are obtained from virtual work principle. These nonlinear equations are linearized by Newton-Raphson's method and are solved by Gaussian e...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of shear dependent viscoelastic flows with a combined finite element-finite volume method
A hybrid combined finite element–finite volume method has been developed for the numerical simulation of shear-dependent viscoelastic flow problems governed by a generalized Oldroyd-B model with a non-constant viscosity function. The method is applied to the 4:1 planar contraction benchmark problem, to investigate the influence of the viscosity effects on the flow and results are compared with ...
