In this
work a computer model based on finite difference method is
developed to calculate the temperatures and thermal
stresses/strains within the roll under various cooling system
parameters for High Chromium Cast Iron Roll, and study of the
effect of each parameter on thermal Fatigue phenomena in this
roll.
Rock slope failures usually occur along the structural
discontinuities in rock masses, but for weathered and highly
jointed rock masses, failure surfaces are often curved as in soil
slopes.
This paper is concerned with stability analysis of weath
ered and
highly jointed rock slope using shear strength reduction technique by FLAC program, which uses finite difference method.
This paper presents a stability analysis of a rock slope in Khneifees
mines in Syrian desert, to verify that it is safe for workers and
equipments to work beside it, and manipulates the result charts
of FLAC analysis using finite difference method and shear strength
reduction technique to assess the stability of the rock slope,
determine the safety factor of the rock slope and expect failure
mechanism.
