However, if the collision detection by the embedded joint torque sensor and the subsequent reaction fail due to the limited bandwidth of the sensor, the safety mechanism composed of purely mechanical elements such as springs and a cam follower absorbs the collision force.
The interactions between these embedded parallel joints have significant influence on failure process of rock mass.
This paper presents bonded-particle discrete element modeling with embedded smooth joints for simulating the mechanical behavior of transversely isotropic rock with systematic verifications and extensions to laboratory and upscaled problems.
The results demonstrate that the bonded-particle DEM with embedded smooth joints can model the equivalent anisotropic medium and it has potential to be applied to problems of larger engineering problems in which anisotropy is important.
In this paper, it is the first time to simulate the details of the interactions between hydraulic fractures (HFs) and natural fractures (NFs) using two-dimensional particle flow code (PFC2D) with embedded Smooth Joint Model (SJM).
As I looked down onto the roadway of the bridge I was driving over, I noticed the expansion joints embedded in the pavement.
The tissues were then decalcified, trimmed and the knee joints embedded in paraffin.
The bedding planes were simulated by embedding smooth joint models within an area of certain thickness.
Paraffin-embedded joints (4 μm) were sectioned on a sagittal plane.
It is embedded within the joint capsule and the presence of an ossified sesamoid may alter biomechanics and limit motion in the joint [5].
Channel-aware-only schedulers have been embedded in a joint PHY-MAC Markov model by using a service-vacation process to model the scheduling decisions.
