Discrete element modelling of jointed rock masses under dynamic loading
The discrete element method (DEM) is an effective numerical approach to solve discontinuous problems such as jointed rock masses. It has been widely used to model static problems, for example, rock slope, underground excavation and support. However, the application of the DEM in dynamic problems esp...
