This book is Practice of Discrete Element Method in Soil-Structure Interface Modelling by Wan-Huan Zhou and Zhen-Yu Yin. The Practice of the Discrete Element Method in Soil-Structure Interface Modelling introduces the discrete element method (DEM), focusing on its application to soil-structure interaction problems. After describing the basic principles of DEM, the book presents several numerical examples demonstrating how this powerful tool can model various types of soil-structure interaction problems.
- What is the Practice of the Discrete Element Method in Soil-Structure Interface Modelling
The Practice of the Discrete Element Method in Soil-Structure Interface Modelling (DEMSSIM) is a new technique for modeling the behavior of soil-structure interfaces. It is based on the discrete element method (DEM), which is a powerful tool for simulating the behavior of granular materials.
- How can the Practice of the Discrete Element Method be used to model soil-structure interface problems?
DEMSSIM can be used to model a wide range of soil-structure interface problems, including the effects of earthquakes and other dynamic loads on structures, the performance of piling and foundation systems, and the behavior of slopes and embankments.
- What are some advantages and disadvantages of using the Practice of the Discrete Element Method in soil-structure interface modeling
Some advantages of DEMSSIM include its ability to capture the complex behavior of granular materials, its flexibility in modeling a wide range of soil-structure interface problems, and its computational efficiency. However, DEMSSIM has some disadvantages, such as its relative complexity and the need for experienced users.
- Examples of applications where the Practice of the Discrete Element Method has been successfully used to model soil-structure interface problems
Some examples of successful applications of DEMSSIM include modeling earthquake effects on structures, the performance of piling and foundation systems, and the behavior of slopes and embankments.
