Simulation of rock subjected to underground blast using FLAC3D

Simulation of the Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) Behavior Reinforcing with Resistant Fiber Subjected to Blast Load

In research or experimental works related to blast loads, the amount of explosion material and distance of explosion point are very important. So, in this paper has been attempted to present a parametric study of the reactive powder concrete subjected to blast load. The effect of the different amount of TNT adopted the literature, distance of explosion point from RPC slab and also the location ...

Blast Simulation in Underground Mines Using the Combined Finite-Discrete Element Method

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the application of a combined finite-discrete element program, such as ELFEN, for the simulation and prediction of backfill stope failure risks due to blast loading effects in underground mines. A real size of a backfilled stope blasted in the nearby rock of the paste fill is modelled. The dynamic fracture propagation and fragmentation in rock and the...

Numerical Simulation of an Armored Vehicle Underbelly Subjected to Air Blast Loading

In modern warfare, anti-vehicular mine attack is one of the critical consideration in the design of an armored personnel vehicle. Nowadays, the use of computational tools is a common approach in vehicle design process for evaluating the vehicle and its occupant’s safety or protective levels. This paper presents a finite element analysis carried out on the underbelly of SIBMAS AFSV 6x6 armored v...

Performance of Polymer-encased Concrete Walls Subjected to Blast Loads

Analysis of electric signals of rock beams subjected to bending

Experimental laboratory work has been conducted to study electric signals of marble beams that have been subjected to three point bend tests. The specimens have suffered 12 abrupt loading steps up to failure and the corresponding BSC were recorded by means of copper electrodes placed in the lower surface of the sample. Alongside with the application of abrupt loading to the samples, BSC peaks w...
