Fragmentation analyses of rocks under high-velocity impacts using the combined finite-discrete element simulation

The impact-induced fragmentation of rock blocks is frequently encountered when the natural hazards (e.g., rockfalls, rockslides, and rock avalanches) occur in mountainous areas. To address the progressive damage and cracking characteristics of rock upon impacting, this paper presents a three-dimensi...
