Earthquakes occur mainly on active faults. Fault slip is closely related to seismicity and is
thus widely discussed in Geosciences, Seismology, and Engineering. Slip experiment is a …

The paper presents a description of the methods used to model rock as discontinuous
media. The objective of the work is to bring to the geomechanics community recent …

This study presents the run-out analysis of the Daguangbao landslides subjected to near-
fault multi-direction earthquake forces using discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA). The …

A dynamic, two-dimensional, stability analysis of a highly discontinuous rock slope is
demonstrated in this paper. The studied rock slope is the upper terrace of King Herod's …

This paper studies the run-out of earthquake-induced landslides. There are more than 20
mechanical models to explain long run-out of rapid landslides including some earthquake …

This study simulates the kinematic behavior of sliding blocks of rock in the earthquake-
induced Tsaoling landslide using seismic discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA). We …

Over the last decade, researchers in the discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA)
community have dedicated a great deal of effort to document the accuracy of the method by …

The key to three-dimensional discontinuous deformation analysis (3D DDA) is a rigorous
contact theory that governs the interaction of many three-dimensional blocks. This theory …

Due to the difficulties of fracture mechanics in dealing with multicrack problems, the
continuum-based numerical methods always encounter mathematical problems when …

Discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) is a numerical approach used to simulate the
post-failure behavior of a blocky assembly. Three available algorithms incorporate seismic …
