This tutorial will guide you through the main steps required to build a simple PFC model with 30 interacting balls in a box using the linear contact model.
This FLAC 8.1 tutorial demonstrates how to update the soil densities and the effective stresses in the embankment.
This tutorial reviews how you can generate movies from plots with FLAC3D and most Itasca software.
With increasing depth, higher stress and more difficult mining. With increasing depth is there more ground surface effects or less?
Based on the concept of the representative elementary volume (REV) and the synthetic rock mass (SRM) modeling technique, a DFN–DEM multi-scale modeling approach is proposed for modeling excavation responses in jointed rock masses. Based on the DFN models of various scales, equivalent rock mass properties are obtained using 3DEC SRM models. A tunnel excavation simulation using data from the Äspö TAS08 tunnel is conducted to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed multi-scale modeling approach.
