Development of a fracture capture simulator to quantify the instability evolution in porous medium
Ramesh Kannan Kandasami, Charalampos Konstantinou, Giovanna Biscontin
Understanding and controlling fracture propagation is one of the most challenging engineering problems, especially in the oil and gas sector, groundwater hydrology and geothermal e…
A numerical characterisation of unconfined strength of weakly consolidated granular packs and its effect on fluid-driven fracture behaviour
Paula A. Gago, Charalampos Konstantinou, Giovanna Biscontin +1
Soft or weakly-consolidated sand refers to porous materials composed of particles (or grains) weakly held together to form a solid but that can be easily broken when subjected to s…
Investigating the Thixotropic Behaviour of Tremie Concrete Using the Slump-flow Test and the Material Point Method
Christopher Wilkes, Krishna Kumar, Giovanna Biscontin
A new thixotropic model is developed integrating the Papanastasiou-Bingham model with thixotropy equations to simulate the flow behaviour of Tremie Concrete in the Material Point M…
Enhancing strength of MICP-treated sandy soils: from micro to macro scale
Yuze Wang, Charalampos Konstantinou, Kenichi Soga +3
Microbial-Induced Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) Precipitation (MICP) has been extensively studied for soil improvement in geotechnical engineering. The properties of calcium carbonate…
Scalable and modular material point method for large-scale simulations
Krishna Kumar, Jeffrey Salmond, Shyamini Kularathna +4
In this paper, we describe a new scalable and modular material point method (MPM) code developed for solving large-scale problems in continuum mechanics. The MPM is a hybrid Euleri…
