| Report |
The support provided by the International Mobility Program at the RUB Research School enabled me to participate in the World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM 2024) held in Vancouver. This invaluable opportunity allowed me to present my research work on "Computational Modeling of Cutting Disc-Rock Interaction in Mixed Ground Conditions." During the conference, I had the privilege of sharing our latest research developments with the international scientific community. My presentation outlined the development of a simulation tool based on the state-based peridynamic theory, designed to model the interaction between cutting discs of Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) and the ground being excavated. The model's capability to simulate complex fracture and fragmentation scenarios with high accuracy and reliability was a key highlight of my talk. The WCCM 2024 provided an excellent platform for networking and knowledge exchange. I engaged in meaningful discussions with peers and experts in the field of computational mechanics, which contributed to the overall understanding and further development of my research. This exchange of ideas has inspired new collaborations and avenues for future work, reinforcing the value of such international conferences. Thank you to the RUB Research School for making this experience possible. |
