M.ENG. STUDIES¶
RESEARCH TOPICS
My M.Eng. research topic is Algorithm for Random Generation of 3D Mesoscopic Shape of Granular Materials along with Its Application to TBM Tunnelling in Stratum with Boulders, focusing on the development of a novel algorithm for the generation of 3D polyhedrons for the simulation of rock particles by Discrete Element Method (DEM) and its application to tunneling in a boulder-soil matrix.
KEY TASKS
- Developed a novel algorithm for the generation of 3D polyhedrons
- DEM simulation of TBM tunneling in a boulder-soil matrix
- Experimental validation by devising a mini TBM tunneling test
