Modeling slow deformation of polygonal particles using DEM
We introduce two improvements in the numerical scheme to simulate collision and slow shearing of irregular particles. First, we propose an alternative approach based on simple relations to compute the frictional contact forces. The approach improves efficiency and accuracy of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) when modeling the dynamics of the granular packing. We determine the proper upper limi...
متن کاملAccurate B-spline Free-Form Deformation of Polygonal Objects
Free-form deformation is an important geometric shape modification method in computer animation and geometric modeling. We explore it by means of functional composition via shifting operators. Our method takes a polygonal model as input but yields a curved model described by triangular Bézier patches as output. The proposed method also solves the sample problem of free-form deformation. keyword...
متن کاملAccelerating Accurate B-spline Free-form Deformation of Polygonal Objects
A previous paper described an algorithm for accurate B-spline free-form deformation of polygonal objects to produce triangular Bézier patches. However that algorithm computed the control points of resulting patches using a generalized de Casteljau algorithm, which is expensive to compute. In this short note, we describe an algorithm that instead uses polynomial interpolation; both theoretical a...
متن کاملRecurrent slope failure enhancing source rock burial depth and seal unit competence in the Pearl River Mouth Basin, offshore South China Sea
High quality 3D seismic data are used to assess the significance of mass-transport deposits (MTDs) to the evolution of the Pearl River Mouth Basin (South China Sea). Basal shear surfaces and lateral margins of seven recurrent MTDs are mapped to reveal a general NE-SW transport direction throughout the Late Miocene-Quaternary. A key result of our analysis is the perceived relationship between th...
متن کاملContinuous deformation versus faulting through the continental lithosphere of new zealand
Seismic anisotropy and P-wave delays in New Zealand imply widespread deformation in the underlying mantle, not slip on a narrow fault zone, which is characteristic of plate boundaries in oceanic regions. Large magnitudes of shear-wave splitting and orientations of fast polarization parallel to the Alpine fault show that pervasive simple shear of the mantle lithosphere has accommodated the cumul...
