Goal
  • Formation of students' knowledge and skills in using modern software for geomechanical calculations, numerical modeling and analysis of the stress-strain state of rocks, as well as forecasting the stability of mountain massifs and engineering structures.
Objective
  • Objectives of the discipline Introduction to the basics of numerical modeling – the study of mathematical models and numerical methods used in geomechanics. The study of specialized software is the development of the functionality of software systems (Rocscience, etc.). The development of model building skills is the setting of material parameters, boundary conditions and loads in calculation programs. Analysis of the calculation results – interpretation of the data obtained, plotting, identification of risk zones and assessment of structural stability. Applying knowledge in practice is performing calculations for real engineering facilities, analyzing geomechanical processes in mining, construction, and geotechnics. The development of scientific research skills is the application of software to study complex geomechanical phenomena and predict their consequences.
