Disk harmonics for analysing curved and flat self-affine rough surfaces and the topological reconstruction of open surfaces

When two bodies get into contact, only a small portion of the apparent area is actually involved in producing contact and friction forces because of the surface roughnesses. It is, therefore, crucial to accurately describe the morphology of rough surfaces, ...

Two-scale concurrent simulations for crack propagation using FEM–DEM bridging coupling

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Antonio Joaquin Garcia Suarez, Manon Eugénie Voisin--Leprince

The Discrete element method (DEM) is a robust numerical tool for simulating crack propagation and wear in granular materials. However, the computational cost associated with DEM hinders its applicability to large domains. To address this limitation, we emp ...

Finite element method–discrete element method bridging coupling for the modeling of gouge

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Antonio Joaquin Garcia Suarez, Manon Eugénie Voisin--Leprince

We discuss the multiscale modeling of a granular material trapped between continuum elastic domains. The amorphous granular region, usually termed “gouge,” is under high confinement pressure, to represent the loading of faults at depth. We model the granul ...

A fully-coupled highly-parallelized geomechanical simulator for assessing induced seismicity

Jean-François Molinari, Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Guillaume Anciaux, Nicolas Richart, Emil Gallyamov

Induced seismicity caused by anthropogenic modification of the subsurface effective stress state has been observed in a number of industrial applications -- from hydrocarbon extraction (e.g., Groningen [1]), drilling waste-water disposal (e.g., [2]) to the ...

The INTERNODES method for applications in contact mechanics and dedicated preconditioning techniques

Guillaume Anciaux, Simone Deparis, Yannis Dirk Voet

The mortar finite element method is a well-established method for the numerical solution of partial differential equations on domains displaying non-conforming interfaces. The method is known for its application in computational contact mechanics. However, ...

Numerical Generation and Contact Analysis of Rough Surfaces in Concrete

Guillaume Anciaux, Mohit Pundir

In concrete structures, opened cracks contribute significantly to the transfer of shear and normal stresses through the contact forces occurring between fractured surfaces. Such contact forces are due to protruding asperities, engaged by interlocking and f ...

Coupling between cohesive element method and node‐to‐segment contact algorithm: Implementation and application

Guillaume Anciaux, Mohit Pundir

In materials, the evolution of crack surfaces is intimately linked with the self-contact occurring between them. The developed contact forces not only mitigate the effect of stress concentration at crack tip but also contribute sig- nificantly to the trans ...
