Accurate prediction of soil thermal conductivity is crucial to the design of geothermal related
structures such as ground source heat pumps (GSHPs), borehole thermal energy storage …

Powder bed fusion is one of the most common types of additive manufacturing processes
using granular materials. In this field, improvements in the processing of materials and …

Understanding and modelling the dynamic behaviour of particulate systems has been a
major research focus worldwide for many years. Discrete particle simulation plays an …

Improved coordination between power and district heating systems (DHSs) can play a vital
role in accommodating more wind power. However, the dynamics of district heating …

We introduce a multidimensional peridynamic formulation for transient heat-transfer. The
model does not contain spatial derivatives and uses instead an integral over a region …

In this study, a coupled contact heat transfer and thermal cracking model is proposed for
discontinuous/granular media based on the computational framework of Finite-Discrete …

Based on a combined finite-discrete element method (FDEM), this study builds a coupled
thermo-mechanical model (termed FDEM-TM) to simulate thermal cracking of rock. The …

A coupled thermo-mechanical bond-based peridynamical (TM-BB-PD) method is developed
to simulate thermal cracking processes in rocks. The coupled thermo-mechanical model …

In this paper, a weakly coupled thermo-mechanical model within the framework of ordinary
state-based peridynamics is proposed to investigate thermal cracking behaviors of rocks …

With the limitations of measuring techniques, limited investigation on dynamic fracture
testing of rocks at high temperature is reported. In this paper, an effective measuring method …
