FDEM Application in Engineering
Program Schedule
Application of Finite Discrete Element Method (FDEM) in engineering provides start-up for the practical use of Y-2D numerical program based on FDEM method in engineering.
The motivation for conducting this course arises from the fact that knowledge of basics of FDEM is an essential skill for numerical modelling of discontinuum problems. The course will provide participants with skills to learn about FDEM application in reinforced concrete and masonry structures and about the limitations and further development of FDEM by parallelization approach.
MAIN TOPICS
Introduction to the basis of the Finite/Discrete Element Method (FDEM): contact detection, contact interaction, deformability , transformation from continua to discontinua
MAIN TOPICS
FDEM application in reinforced concrete structures
MAIN TOPICS
FDEM application in masonry structures
MAIN TOPICS
Parallelization of FDEM
PROGRAM STRUCTURE
5 day course
