Stochastic 3d Modeling of Amorphous Microstructures - a Powerful Tool for Virtual Materials Testing

Developing a 3D stochastic discrete fracture network model for hydraulic analyses

Fluid flow in jointed rock mass with impermeable matrix is often controlled by joint properties, including aperture, orientation, spacing, persistence and etc. On the other hand, since the rock mass is made of heterogeneous and anisotropic natural materials, geometric properties of joints may have dispersed values. One of the most powerful methods for simulation of stochastic nature of geometri...

Big data for microstructure-property relationships: a case study of predicting effective conductivities

The analysis of big data is changing industries, businesses and research since large amounts of data are available nowadays. In the area of microstructures, acquisition of (3D tomographic image) data is difficult and time-consuming. It is shown that large amounts of data representing the geometry of virtual, but realistic 3D microstructures can be generated using stochastic microstructure model...

3D stochastic rock fracture modeling related to strike-slip faults

Fault zones and fault-related fracture systems control the mechanical behaviors and fluid-flow properties of the Earth’s crust. Furthermore, nowadays, modeling is being increasingly used in order to understand the behavior of rock masses, and to determine their characteristics. In this work, fault zones and fracture patterns are reviewed, and also comprehensive studies are carried out on the fr...
