Abstract: Discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) has gained wide acceptance in geotechnical engineering. The simulation of large-scale engineering problems using DDA is computationally expensive. Thus, improving the calculation ...

Abstract: In order to accurately and efficiently simulate the dynamic processes of coupled phenomena with viscoelastic, continuous and discontinuous deformations, a three-dimensional (3D) numerical manifold method combining Maxwell's ...

Abstract: When simulating large rotation, the false volume expansion and elastic distortion problems of the block occurs severely in the original discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA). In this study, a new displacement formula ...

Abstract: The fault cutting algorithm is important when applying the three-dimensional numerical manifold method to engineering simulation. This paper presents a primary approach to the fault cutting algorithm, including data ...
