Student project opportunity: modelling dike failure using DIANA Finite element software

News - 09 April 2019 - Webmaster Hydraulic Engineering

 

Master-studentproject at DIANA FEA BV

DIANA FEA is participating the benchmark of the 15th International ICOLD-BW from 9th–11th September 2019 in Milano.The theme we are participating in is “C. Failure and pre-failure of a dyke on soft subsoil”.

This is an excellent opportunity for students in hydraulic engineering. You will prepare the models,and carry out the analysis using the DIANA Finite Element software. With support and advice by the experts of DIANA FEA BV, you will present and exchange your experiences and the latest developments related to the design, performance and monitoring of dykes with other participants in the benchmark workshop.

We are looking for motivated students who are up for a challenge and experience this great event. The selected candidate will be sponsored by DIANA to participate to this prestigious event. You will attend the benchmark and fly to Milano to present results at the ICOLD-BW in Milano. DIANA FEA will support you and pay for the flight/hotel costs.

DIANA is a well proven, multi-purpose finite element software package that has been used on various landmark projects all over the world. The program's robust functionality includes extensive material models, element libraries and analysis procedures, which are based on the latest and the most advanced finite element analysis techniques.

DIANA has been equipped with powerful solvers in order to optimize the solution procedures for all types of linear and nonlinear complex models with accurate results and fast computations. Its unique analysis capabilities are empowered by full modeling capabilities in 2D and 3D environments and tools for CAD interoperability.

DIANA offers powerful and complete solutions for both routine and sophisticated engineering problems covering dams and dykes. Analysis of Dams and Dikes is one of the specialties of DIANA for its extensive library of material models,and analysis capabilities that are suited for this purpose,e.g. phased (staged) construction, soil-structure and fluid-structure interaction, user supplied material models, large range of interface models, large displacement and large strain analyses, material non-linearity, time and ambient dependency effects, and nonlinear dynamic analysis. Furthermore, the program is structured such that all different analyses can be performed in one analysis command sequence. For this reason, we are very proud to say that DIANA offers an “all in one solution” for the analysis of dams and dykes.
