Statistical Modeling of Fracture Toughness Data
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-25)The fracture toughness of the zirconium alloy (Zr-2.5Nb) is an important parameter in determining the flaw tolerance for operation of pressure tubes in reactor. Fracture toughness data have been generated by performing ... -
Up-Scaling Distinct Element Method Simulations of Discontinua
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-20)Pre-existing fractures significantly influence the geomechanical response of the rock mass at the reservoir scale. For geomechanical applications, these natural fractures need to be considered in the mechanical response ...
