Maxwell Damping: An Alternative to Rayleigh Damping in Seismic Analysis
24 sept. 2024
Maxwell damping was introduced as a new feature in ITASCA Software Version 9 for FLAC3D, FLAC2D, and 3DEC. It is a more frequency-independent form of damping for time-domain analyses. FLAC3D models using Maxwell damping can be 10-200 times faster and as accurate making large, 3D site responses and soil-structure interaction become practical to analyze.

Evaluation of impacts of lahars on structures using DEM numerical modeling
19 janv. 2021
Lahars represent natural phenomena that can generate severe damage in densely populated urban areas. The evaluation of pressures generated by these mass flows on constructions (buildings, infrastructure…) is crucial for civil protection and assessment of the structures’ vulnerability. The existing tools developed to model the spread of flows at large scale in densely populated urban areas remain inaccurate in the estimation of mechanical efforts.
