To simulate the entire process of the progressive failure of rock slopes, a series of
techniques are incorporated into the original NMM (numerical manifold method). To reflect …

A thermodynamically consistent phase field model with new crack driving forces is proposed
to simulate the mixed-mode fracture phenomena in rock-like materials. The governing …

Due to rock masses' nonlinear failure property, it is inappropriate to investigate the stability
of rock slopes using the traditional SRM (strength reduction method) which is based on the …

For linear conditioning factors such as rivers, roads, and geological faults, existing studies
mainly use buffer analysis in Geographic Information System to obtain discrete variables …

In this paper, a mixed two-scale numerical manifold computational homogenization model is
presented for dynamic analysis and wave propagation of the discontinuous heterogeneous …

The depths of open-pit mines have been increasing in the last few decades. This
transformation generates a vast amount of waste rock material per unit mining area …

Dynamics of the widespread saturated and semi-saturated soil–rock mixtures (SRMs) are of
importance in practical engineering. In this paper, a numerical manifold model is presented …

The desiccation fracturing of soil is widespread, which affects the migration of rainwater in
the soil, and the stability of slopes or other projects. This paper proposes a simple two …

In regard to geotechnical problems, the numerical manifold method (NMM) has many
particular advantages over the finite element method (FEM) in many aspects. In the present …

In the present work, a phase field numerical manifold method (PFNMM) is proposed for
crack growth in brittle materials. The advantages of the phase field method (PFM) in …
