1. Unplanned dilution back analysis in an underground mine using numerical models
Abstract In underground mines, stability problems can cause unplanned dilution, increasing the costs of mining operations, such as loading, transport, crushing and grinding. This is usually dealt with by simply increasing investments with support. However, the design geometry of stopes and drifts also has a great effect on a stope’s stability. The use of e

2. FEM-DEM simulation of Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) laboratory tests
Abstract Finite/discrete element methods (FDEM) are hybrid numerical models that use algorithms to analyze the transition from continuous to discontinuous. This type of formulation allows modeling physical laboratory tests with greater proximity to reality. This article proposes to simulate the average behavior of a uniaxial compression test campaign. The te

3. Smart Graphene-Based Frequency Selective Surface Designed to Act as Single or Dual Band Device with Reconfigurable Operation Bands
Abstract In this paper, a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) formulation, based on the exponential matrix and on thin material sheet methods is developed for modeling subcellular thin graphene sheets. This formulation is validated by reproducing graphene frequency selective surfaces (FSS) known from literature. Then, we propose in this work a smart graphen

4. Nonlinear static analysis of a pile-supported wharf
Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é desenvolver uma análise estática não-linear através de um estudo de caso de um cais sobre estacas situado em uma nova área portuária para petroleiras. A atividade sísmica da área é muito intensa com uma aceleração máxima do solo de 0.55 g. Por esta razão, é muito importante analisar o comportamento estrutural n

5. Contact phenomena modeling in biological structures on the example of the implant-bone
Abstract The work presents modeling of interface phenomena in biological structures. Selected ways of numerical modeling of phenomena at the boundary of two materials by means of FEM methods are discussed. The work focuses on phenomena related to biological structures and their mutual interactions. Using an example of an implant-bone system, various techniqu

6. Aspects of Finite Element Modeling of Punching Shear Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Flat Slabs
Abstract A series of nonlinear FE analyses was conducted in this paper to model the punching shear failure of RC flat slabs. The analyses were carried out in the software DIANA using three-dimensional continuum elements. These analyses involve the test of different modeling choices in order to evaluate their influences on punching shear failure modeling. The

7. Nondestructive ultrasonic testing in rod structure with a novel numerical Laplace based wavelet finite element method
Abstract Rod structure has been widely used in aerospace engineering and civil engineering. Nondestructive testing is a very important method applied to detect unseen flaws in structures, ultrasonic wave nondestructive testing has been used in many areas. Finite Element Method is one of the most widely used numerical methods but would have a high cost when d

8. An interface element for numerical analysis of flat plate/shell elements with deformable connection
Abstract The use of numerical methods such as the finite elements method for solving structural analysis problems is becoming ever more efficient. An interface element capable of associating flat plate/shell element in three different combinations has been developed. In a structural analysis, when only the flat plate/shell’s finite elements are used in th

9. Numerical Analysis of Twin-Roll Casting of Strips With Profiled Cross-Section
The relatively high production costs of innovative materials with tailored properties such as Tailor Welded Blanks, Patchwork Blanks, Tailor Heat Treated Blanks and Tailor Rolled Blanks are responsible for a growing interest in new cost-effective production methods. One of the promising energy-saving and environmental friendly technologies for the production

10. Finite element simulation of fracture in a restored premolar tooth using high aspect ratio elements
Abstract Introduction The term cracked tooth syndrome refers to an incomplete fracture of a vital posterior tooth that involves the dentin and occasionally extends into the pulp. There is a very limited number of publications trying to model dentin crack growth using numerical techniques. Therefore, it is essential to numerically model this phenomenon in o

11. A TVD scheme for 3d unstructured grids applied to compositional reservoir simulation
Abstract In reducing the grid orientation effect for the numerical solution of partial differential equations, interpolation functions play an important role when the advective transport of the governing equations is considered. This is due to the fact that, in general, the unknowns are evaluated in the vertices of the elements and such properties must be ex
