FDEM simulation for granular materials based on exact scaling and coarse granulation
Yantu gongcheng xuebaoThe particle materials are characterized by discontinuity and dispersion, so they face great computational pressure in numerical simulation. The exact scaling criterion and coarse-grained method are introduced into the combined finite-discrete element ...

Space Decomposition Based Parallelisation Solutions for the Combined Finite-Discrete Element Method in 2D. [PDF]
, 2015 PhDThe Combined Finite-Discrete Element Method (FDEM), originally invented by Munjiza, has become a tool of choice for problems of discontinua, where particles are deformable and can fracture or fragment.

Application of discrete fracture networks (DFN) in the stability analysis of Delabole Slate Quarry, Cornwall, UK [PDF]
, 2016 This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from ARMA.50th US Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium, Houston, USA, 26-29 June 2016The failure mechanism of rock slopes is mainly controlled by the strength and orientation of ...

Excavation-induced fracturing mechanisms in deep hard rock: A hierarchical block model
Underground SpaceThe fracture characteristics of the excavation damage zones (EDZs) of deeply buried tunnels are closely related to energy evolution, and they are highly valuable for support design.

When cracks look different [PDF]
, 2013 In this work, by means of numerical experiments based on Los Alamos National Laboratory’s combined finite discrete element method (FDEM) software package MUNROU, it is demonstrated that fracture patterns do not only depend on the solid properties, but ...

A new thermomechanical coupled FDEM model for geomaterials considering continuum-discontinuum transitions [PDF]
A new thermomechanical (TM) coupled finite-discrete element method (FDEM) model, incorporating heat conduction, thermal cracking, and contact heat transfer, has been proposed for both continuous and discontinuous geomaterials.
