چکیده
This paper presents a dynamic intermodal freight network scheme using a Discrete Element Method (DEM) approach for performing the microscopic simulation. The model is applied to a roadway network for freight movements from a port terminal. This approach was used to develop efficient control strategies for optimizing freight flow. The simulation model has various applications with the primary focus the ability to access information about roadway conditions used by freight movements in real time. This paper describes the assumptions used to develop this model and the unique data flow scheme based on a microparticle approach is presented. The performance of the simulation model is validated by comparing its performance with that of the Federal Highway Administration’s microscopic simulation model CORSIM.

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 ...

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...
