 - Warsaw, 21.02.2008
 
  2- Math as backbone of applied science and 
technology  - Applied math in ERC programme

Mathematics as a key to new technologies 
 3- Applied mathematics is a part of mathematics used 
to model and solve real world problems  - Applied mathematics is used everywhere 
 - historically applied analysis (differential 
equations, approximation theory, applied 
probability, ) all largely tied to Newtonian 
physics  - today truly ubiquitous, used in a very broad 
context

 19Discrete element method  main assumptions
- Material represented by a collectionof particles 
of different shapes,in the presented 
formulationspheres (3D) or discs (2D) are 
used(similar to P. Cundalls formulation)  - Rigid discrete elements, deformablecontact 
(deformation is localized in discontinuities)  - Adequate contact laws yield desiredmacroscopic 
material behaviour  - Contact interaction takes intoaccount friction 
and cohesion,including the possibility of 
breakage of cohesive bonds

-  Porównanie z metodami symulacyjnymi potwierdza 
dobra dokladnosc wyników otrzymanych metoda 
powierzchni odpowiedzi  -  Metoda powierzchni odpowiedzi wymaga znacznie 
mniejszej liczby symulacji (jest znacznie 
efektywniejsza obliczeniowo)  -  Dla malych wartosci Pf metoda adaptacyjna jest 
efektywniejsza niz klasyczna metoda Monte Carlo
