Modelling rock fractures using SPH with an embedded fracture process zone

posted on 2020-02-26, 03:12 authored by YINGNAN WANGThis research is aimed to develop an advanced computational framework that includes intrinsic spatial and temporal scales. In this computational framework, a new continuum-based constitutive model with embedded discontinuity is developed and then incorporated into the mesh-free smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, capable of handling problems involving complex fracture networks.
