X-ray Tomography and Finite Elements Simulations of Rock Mechanics
Chalk cliffs in many countries, such as around the North Sea in Europe, are places of natural beauty but also under the constant threat of erosion. Collapse of chalk cliffs, which are often poorly consolidated (Figure 1), have cost lives and destroyed property and cultural heritage with a concerning frequency. Predicting collapse, however, is difficult and has had little success in the past. To...
متن کاملCancellous Bone Fracture Modeled by Finite Elements at Micro Scale
Introduction The estimation of failure parameters of bone are clinically relevant as in our aged society bone injuries are having greater economic impact. At the macro scale, bone is mainly composed of cortical and trabecular bone. Trabecular bone has major importance in the failure process in bone. The highly hierarchical structure of bone makes it necessary to study its different scales to in...
متن کاملRock Fracture Image Segmentation Algorithms
Since rock fracture is a key property for different rock engineering applications, rock fracture measurement is often carried out in classifying the rock mass. Most geo-mechanics models (e.g. finite element) are of the equivalent continuum type in which fractures are represented not individually, but by their influence on a large element of the rock mass. Elastic modulus, for example, is obtain...
متن کاملFast Mean-Curvature Flow via Finite-Elements Tracking
In this paper, we present a novel approach for efficiently evolving meshes using mean-curvature flow. We use a finite-elements hierarchy that supports an efficient multigrid solver for performing the semi-implicit time-stepping. Though expensive to compute, we show that it is possible to track this hierarchy through the process of surface evolution. As a result, we provide a way to efficiently ...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Chemotactic Bacteria Aggregation via Mixed Finite Elements
We start from a mathematical model which describes the collective motion of bacteria taking into account the underlying biochemistry. This model was first introduced by Keller-Segel [13]. A new formulation of the system of partial differential equations is obtained by the introduction of a new variable (this new variable is similar to the quasi-Fermi level in the framework of semiconductor mode...
