Hello,
Could anyone please help in navigating to a script or fishtank package that calculates the energy components in a rock specimen after triaxial testing?
Thanks.
Thank you for your use of PFC. There is a material modeling support package that supports creation and rock-lab testing of bonded-particle materials (see x). That package does not support monitoring energy quantities during the test; however, it would be relatively straightforward to add such monitoring. Energy monitoring in PFC2D models of rock cutting is described in the memo that can be downloaded from the link: ShareFile
Thank you David for your quick reply and for your support.
To provide a bit more context, I am currently working on simulating the energy budget of earthquakes using PFC3D. My goal is to estimate the energy components: strain, kinetic, fracture, frictional, and dissipated energy during the deformation of a rock specimen under triaxial compression test.
I have an old version of the FISH file attached, and I would like to kindly ask if there is an updated version available. If so, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share it with me , as it would be extremely helpful for advancing my research.
Best regards,
Alaa
