Introduction
What is RFPA Cloud?
RFPA Cloud is a professional geotechnical CAE cloud platform built on the RFPA (Rock Failure Process Analysis) theoretical system developed by Professor Tang Chun'an's team. As a domestically developed high-performance and high-precision simulation software, RFPA Cloud integrates paper recommendation, fracture simulation, and intelligent tutoring features, providing a one-stop solution for scientific research, teaching, and engineering practice.
About RFPA Theory
The RFPA theory was established by Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Professor Tang Chun'an from Northeastern University, through over 30 years of in-depth research. It is internationally recognized as the academic standard for rock fracture and failure simulation. The theory has been adopted by 100+ research institutions worldwide, with 2000+ academic paper citations, and has wide applications in geotechnical engineering, mining engineering, and geomechanics.
