Cable elements in 3DEC may be assigned a tensile yield force limit and an axial rupture strain in order to simulate cable rupture. 3DEC can also simulate the shearing resistance along the cable length between the grout and either the cable or the host material.
This tutorial will guide you through how to create a fractured Synthetic Rock Mass (SRM) specimen.
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.
Assess the use InSAR technology for LKAB's purposes - as a replacement and/or complement to current GPS measurements.
This paper presents analytical solutions to estimate at any scale the fracture density variability associated to stochastic Discrete Fracture Networks. These analytical solutions are based upon the assumption that each fracture in the network is an independent event. Analytical solutions are developed for any kind of fracture density indicators.
The McArthur River mine in northern Saskatchewan is the largest single producer of uranium in the world.
