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 tutorial will guide you through how to create a fractured Synthetic Rock Mass (SRM) specimen.
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 challenges of mining economically have never been greater than under current global financial conditions.
A geochemical model was developed to predict future water quality of the Cove pit lake in support of site closure and regulatory permitting.
