Hi all, I currently start a new project on rock slope stability in open pit mines. I now know YADE for a while and I am sure it can be a great tool for that and I want to prove it to my supervisor.
I have seen that some work has been done on rock modelling (I saw that a RockParticleModel class has been introduced in the new release 0.20). I am still trying to understand what is written on that files but, honestly, I am a bit lost when I compare to what I did with granular materials (CapillaryCohesiveLaw ;) ). The idea, for the moment, is to model some kind of a fractured rock mass within which particles can interact either in clusters with a cohesive behaviour (rock blocks) or between clusters with a contacting law representative of a rock joint (maybe with an artefact to control the roughness). In addition, maybe it would be useful to deal with spheres such as they are a part of a lattice with no collision detection and no inertia or something like that (?). Maybe some of you have already think about it and I would be grateful for any advices and suggestions. Regards Luc
