Nonlinear analysis of engineering structures by combined finite-discrete element method

A numerical model for dynamic analysis of dry-stone masonry and reinforced-concrete structures, based on the combined finite-discrete element method (FEM/DEM), is presented in the paper. This model describes behaviour of such structures when exposed to dynamic load, crack initiation and propagation,...
