Characterization of cementitious materials by advanced concurrent algorithm-based computer simulation systems

摘要

The traditional discrete element computer simulation system in concrete technology is based on random generators referred to as sequential random (particle) addition (SRA) systems. They generate particles that are not spaced according to situations met in the actual material. This paper indicates the technological relevance of upgrading the concurrent algorithm-based discrete element computer simulation system SPACE discrete element facilities into a new discrete element system, HADES, which can encompass arbitrary particle shapes. The generation of particles is described as is the way particulate structure is formed. The technologically relevant fields are briefly indicated requiring exploration by this concurrent algorithm-based system. Such activities will be undertaken on short terms at Delft University of Technology.
