An Enhanced Discrete Element Modeling Method Considering Spatiotemporal Correlations for Investigating Deformations and Failures of Jointed Rock Slopes

The discrete element method (DEM) is commonly employed to analyze the deformations and failures of jointed rock slopes. However, when the iterative calculation process of the DEM modeling should be terminated is still unclear. To solve the above problem, in this paper, a discrete element modeling me...
