RISStatistical Volume Elements for the Characterization of Angle-Dependent Fracture Strengths in Anisotropic Microcracked Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Statistical volume elements (SVEs) are used to homogenize fracture strength of rock, based on the microcrack statistics of a real-world Yuen-Long marble sample. The small size of SVEs enables maintaining inhomogeneities ...
Effect of Volume Element Geometry on Convergence to a Representative Volume
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To accurately simulate fracture, it is necessary to account for small-scale randomness in the properties of a material. Apparent properties of statistical volume element (SVE) can be characterized below the scale of a ...
