A review of multiscale numerical modeling of rock mechanics and rock engineering
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 382-405, September 2025.Multiscale numerical methods of rock mechanics and rock engineering are reviewed, and the review results show that more attention should be paid to the development of an advanced constitutive model in addition to numerical techniques themselves. Abstract Rock is geometrically and mechanically multiscale in nature, and the traditional phenomenological ...

Automating XFEM Modeling Process for Optimal Failure Predictions
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, 2018 The eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) is a versatile method for solving crack propagation problems. Meanwhile, XFEM predictions for crack onset and propagation rely on the stress field which tends to converge at a slower rate than that of displacements, making it challenging to capture critical load at crack onset accurately.

Cell Agglomeration Strategy for Cut Cells in eXtended Discontinuous Galerkin Methods
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 9, 15 May 2025.ABSTRACT In this work, a cell agglomeration strategy for the cut cells arising in the eXtended discontinuous Galerkin (XDG) method is presented. Cut cells are a fundamental aspect of unfitted mesh approaches, where complex geometries or interfaces separating subdomains are embedded into structured background grids to facilitate the mesh generation ...
