  1. Numerical simulation of selected geologic processes based on Discrete Element Method

    … regime based on Universal Distinct Element Code (UDEC). A scale-independent modeling approach based on PFC2D has been established to simulate the development of pull-apart basins. The micro-scale PFC models are used to investigate crack propagation and basin development in releasing sidestep …

  2. Numerical Modeling for Increased Understanding of the Behavior and Performance of Coal Mine Stoppings

    … in the Mine Roof Simulator and modeled using UDEC. Through a combination of physical testing and numerical modeling a failure mechanism for concrete block stoppings was established. This failure mechanism consists of development of stress concentrations where a height difference as small as …
