Since 2001, the Hybrid Stress Blast Model (HSBM) project members have developed a software suite to model the complete blasting process from non-ideal detonation to muck pile formation. To preserve the physics and improve solution time, the breakage engine ...

<p>This paper describes a statistical method to explore the velocity profiles of granular flows down rough inclines. Using 3D Discrete Element Method (DEM), granularmaterial is released from a box onto a slope and allowed to flow indefinitely. Fluctuating ...

The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of the hangingwall failure process and its relationship with the ground surface subsidence. Results from numerical analysis using continuous methods indicate that the first tension cracks are formed ...
