Numerical Studies of Frictional Sliding Behavior and Influences of Confining Pressure on Accoustic Activities in Compression Tests Using FEM/DEM
The combined finite-discrete element method (FEM/DEM) has been used to simulate processes of brittle fracturing and associated seismicity. With the newly extended FEM/DEM algorithm, two topics involving rock mechanics and geophysics are investigated. In the first topic, a velocity-weakening law is i...
