A 3D distinct lattice spring model for elasticity and dynamic failure

Jiannong Fang, Jian Zhao, Gaofeng Zhao

Wiley-Blackwell2011

Parallel computation for debonding process of externally FRP plated concrete

Jian Zhao, Tao Xu

In this paper, the three dimensional Parallel Realistic Failure Process Analysis (RFPA(3D)-Parallel) code based on micromechanical model is employed to investigate the bonding behavior in FRP sheet bonded to concrete in single shear test. In the model, the ...

Normally Incident Wave Propagation across One Joint Set with Virtual Wave Source Method

Jian Zhao, Jianbo Zhu, Gaofeng Zhao

This paper presents an analytical study on normally incident wave propagation across a joint set. Combined with the displacement discontinuity method (DDM), the virtual wave source method (VWSM) is adopted to take account of multiple wave reflections among ...

A new hard rock TBM performance prediction model for project planning

Jian Zhao

Among the models used for performance prediction of hard rock tunnel boring machines two stand out and are often used in the industry. They include the semi theoretical model by Colorado School of Mines and the empirical model by Norwegian University of Sc ...

Theoretical Methods for Wave Propagation across Jointed Rock Masses

Jian Zhao, Jianbo Zhu

Different methods are presently available for the analysis of wave propagation across jointed rock masses with the consideration of multiple wave reflections between joints. These methods can be divided into two categories. One is based on the displacement ...

Dynamic fracturing simulation of brittle material using the distinct lattice spring method with a full rate-dependent cohesive law

Jian Zhao, Tohid Kazerani, Gaofeng Zhao

A full rate-dependent cohesive law is implemented in the distinct lattice spring method (DLSM) to investigate the dynamic fracturing behavior of brittle materials. Both the spring ultimate deformation and spring strength are dependent on the spring deforma ...

An equivalent viscoelastic model for rock mass with parallel joints

Jian Zhao

An equivalent viscoelastic medium model is proposed for rock mass with parallel joints. A concept of "virtual wave source (VWS)'' is proposed to take into account the wave reflections between the joints. The equivalent model can be effectively applied to a ...

A NUMERICAL MANIFOLD METHOD FOR PLANE MICROPOLAR ELASTICITY

Jian Zhao, Hua Zhang, Gaofeng Zhao

A numerical manifold method (NMM) for plane micropolar elasticity is proposed in this paper to consider the microstructure influence of materials. First, the basic formulations of plane micropolar elasticity are briefly introduced. Then, the equations of s ...

Micromechanical parameters in bonded particle method for modelling of brittle material failure

Jian Zhao, Tohid Kazerani

Bonded particle modelling (BPM) is nowadays being extensively used for simulating brittle material failure. In BPM, material is modelled as a dense assemblage of particles (grains) connected together by contacts (cement). This sort of modelling seriously d ...

On the truly meshless solution of heat conduction problems in heterogeneous media

Aurèle Parriaux, Jiannong Fang, Jian Zhao, Gaofeng Zhao

A truly meshless method based on the weighted least-squares (WLS) approximation and the method of point collocation is proposed to solve heat conduction problems in heterogeneous media. It is shown that, in the case of strong heterogeneity, accurate and sm ...

Study of the solar anisotropy of cosmic ray primaries of about 200 GeV energy with the L3+C muon detector

Eduardo Sanchez, Horst Vogel, Aurelio Bay, Yu Lei, Jian Zhao, Liang Sun, Qian Wang, Zhirui Xu, Matthias Weber, Ji Hyun Kim, Werner Lustermann, Xiao Wang, Yifei Guo, Xuan Yang, Zheng Wang

Context. Primary cosmic rays experience multiple deflections in the non-uniform galactic and heliospheric magnetic fields which may generate anisotropies. Aims. A study of anisotropies in the energy range between 100 and 500 GeV is performed. This energy r ...
