Nonlinear Hertzian contact benchmark of an automotive hub tapered roller bearing (100Cr6 bearing steel): outer cup raceway block (15° cone angle) interfacing with a tapered roller (semi-cone angle γ = 3°, length L = 24 mm) under 24 kN normal load, solved with unilateral Mortar contact formulation on quadratic TET10 elements.

Spatial 3D geomechanics finite-element verification of a deep hydrocarbon wellbore (depth H = 2500 m) in a reservoir sandstone massif: anisotropic in-situ far-field stresses with K0 ≠ 1 (vertical lithostatic overburden σ_v = 60 MPa, maximum horizontal stress σ_H = 50 MPa, minimum horizontal stress σ_h = 35 MPa) balanced by 28 MPa internal drilling mud pressure, reproducing analytical Kirsch hoop stress concentration (σ_θθ = 87 MPa) and predicting wellbore breakouts along the σ_h azimuth.

Spatial 3D geomechanics finite-element verification of a deep horseshoe mine drift (depth H = 350 m) excavated through hard granite rock: vertical lithostatic overburden pressure (35.6 MN total force on top boundary), lateral rock confinement, and traction-free excavated tunnel surfaces, visualizing natural Protodyakonov vault arching, destressing in the crown, and compressive stress concentration in the tunnel sidewalls and springlines.

Spatial 3D geomechanics finite-element verification of a room-and-pillar underground mining cavern (depth H = 400 m) in a dolomite ore rock massif: 4 intersecting room drifts (drift width 600 mm, height 400 mm) leaving a central monolithic square supporting rock pillar (800 × 800 mm), demonstrating tributary area load concentration, triaxial compressive confinement in the pillar core, and stress peaking at pillar corners.

Spatial 3D geomechanics finite-element verification of a stepped open-pit mine bench slope (2400 × 1200 × 1600 mm) in a jointed siltstone rock mass: two production benches (bench face angle 65°, berm width 300 mm) cut by an inclined planar daylighting fault plane at 35° dipping towards the open pit floor, capturing forward gravity-driven shear wedge sliding kinematics and shear stress peaking at the pit toe scarp.
