Modified virtual internal bond model based on deformable Voronoi particles

ABSTRACT: In last time, the series of virtual internal bond model was proposed for solving rock mechanics problems. In these models, the rock continuum is considered as a structure of discrete particles connected by normal and shear springs (bonds). It is well announced that the normal springs struc...
