Mohammad Sina Abdollahi; Mehdi Najafi; Alireza Yarahamdi Bafghi; Ramin Rafiee

Volume 15, Issue 4 , October 2024, , Pages 1461-1476

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2024.13754.2548

Abstract
  The stability analysis of chain pillars is crucial, especially as coal extraction rates increase, making it essential to reduce the size of these pillars. Therefore, a new method for estimating the load on chain pillars holds significant importance. This research introduces a novel solution for estimating ...  Read More

Rock Mechanics
Coupling Discontinuous Deformation Analysis and Displacement Discontinuity Method for Simulating Failure Mechanism in Geomaterials

Mohsen Khanizadeh Bahabadi; Alireza Yarahamdi Bafghi; Mohammad Fatehi Marji; Hossein Shahami; Abolfazl Abdollahipour

Volume 15, Issue 3 , May 2024, , Pages 1071-1087

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2023.13628.2517

Abstract
  Complexity of geomaterial’s behavior is beyond the capabilities of conventional numerical methods alone for realistically model rock structures. Coupling of numerical methods can make the numerical modeling more realistic. Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA) and Displacement Discontinuous ...  Read More

Analytical Solutions of First-order Displacement Discontinuity Elements in Poroelasticity

Mohammadhossein Dehghani Firoozabadi; Mohammad Fatehi Marji; Abolfazl Abdollahipour; Alireza Yarahamdi Bafghi; Yousef Mirzaeian

Volume 14, Issue 2 , April 2023, , Pages 601-618

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2023.12631.2296

Abstract
  The presence of pores and cracks in porous and fractured rocks is mostly accompanied by fluid flow. Poroelasticity can be used for the accurate modeling of many rock structures in the petroleum industry. The approach of the stress to the value of the fracture stress and the effect of pore pressure on ...  Read More

Simulation of Crack Propagation Mechanism in Porous Media using Modified linear Element Displacement Discontinuity Method

Mohammadhosein Dehghani Firoozabadi; Mohammad Fatehi Marji; Abolfazl Abdollahipour; Alireza Yarahamdi Bafghi; Yousef Mirzaeian

Volume 13, Issue 3 , July 2022, , Pages 903-927

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2022.12246.2223

Abstract
  In this work, an effective methodology is introduced for simulation of the crack propagation in linear poroelastic media. The presence of pores and saturated cracks that can be accompanied by fluid flow makes the use of poroelastic media inevitable. In this work, involvement of the time parameter in ...  Read More

Rock Mechanics
Discrete element modeling of explosion-induced fracture extension in jointed rock masses

M. Lak; M. Fatehi Marji; A.R. Yarahamdi Bafghi; A. Abdollahipour

Volume 10, Issue 1 , January 2019, , Pages 125-138

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2018.7291.1579

Abstract
  The explosion process of explosives in a borehole applies a very high pressure on its surrounding rock media. This process can initiate and propagate rock fractures, and finally, may result in the rock fragmentation. Rock fragmentation is mainly caused by the propagation of inherent pre-existing fractures ...  Read More
