Back-calculation of mechanical parameters of shell and balls materials from discrete element method simulations
Discrete Element Method (DEM) is extensively used for mathematical modeling and simulating the behavior of discrete discs and discrete spheres in two and three dimensional space, respectively. Prediction of particles flow regime, power draw and kinetic energy for a laboratory or an industrial mill is possible by DEM simulation. In this article, a new approach was used to assess the main paramet...
متن کاملDilation, Transport, Visibility and Fault-Tolerant Algorithms
Connecting some points in the plane by a road network is equivalent to constructing a finite planar graph G whose vertex set contains a predefined set of vertices (i. e., the possible destinations in the road network). The dilation between two vertices p and q of graph G is defined as the Euclidean length of a shortest path in G from p to q, divided by the Euclidean distance from p to q. That i...
متن کاملVisualizing a Spherical Geological Discrete Element Model of Fault Evolution
Discrete Element Modelling (DEM) is a numerical technique that uses a system of interacting discrete bodies to simulate the movement of material being exposed to external forces. This technique is often used to simulate granular systems; however by adding further elements that inter-connect the bodies, it can be used to simulate the deformation of a large volume of material. This method has pre...
متن کاملAnalysis of Location of Villages in Relation to Rupture Zone (Case Study: North Qazvin Fault)
This paper studies the shear zone of North Qazvin fault and investigates the location of rural settlements in this area. In selected sections, the presence of transverse valleys along the fault made it possible to investigate the evidence of shear zones in which we can see severe crushing in igneous rocks of andesitic and trachyandesitic type, and cataclastic. Moreover, traces of faulted and fr...
متن کاملFault Strike Detection Using Satellite Gravity Data Decomposition by Discrete Wavelets: A Case Study from Iran
Estimating the gravity anomaly causative bodies boundary can facilitate the gravity field interpretation. In this paper, 2D discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is employed as a method to delineate the boundary of the gravity anomaly sources. Hence, the GRACE’ satellite gravity data is decomposed using DWT. DWT decomposites a single approximation coefficients into four distinct components: the appr...
