Realistic Failure Process Analysis

07:30 – 17:00
Willet Green Miller Centre - Auditorium
935 Ramsey Lake Road, Sudbury, Ontario

Chunan Tang

You are invited to attend this one day technical short course delivered by Dr. Chunan Tang, Centre for Rock Instability and Seismicity Research, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, Liaoning, China. Biography

Numerical models that simulate the detailed fracturing process are useful for understanding rock failure mechanisms on both the small and large scales. In this short course, a numerical code, the Realistic Failure Process Analysis (RFPA) model, will be introduced. Examples are presented to illustrate how the overall macroscopic response of a brittle rock can be simulated by integration of the interactions between smaller-scale elements. In addition, through the modeling examples of slope and tunnel instability, Dr. Tang will demonstrate how RFPA can be used to analyze large-scale practical problems. Participants will gain a good understanding of the physics and mechanics involved in RFPA. The course also provides brief training of using RFPA to benefit all the attendants. Course Poster
