Enhanced Discrete Element Method (EDEM) and its Application to Stability Analysis of the Slope with Non-Through Joints

Abstract:

A new enhanced Discrete Element Method (EDEM) for modeling the system composed of cracked solids is developed by coupling the traditional Discontinuous Deformation Analysis method (DDA, a kind of implicit version of DEM) with Moving Least-Squares (MLS) meshfree approximation functions. Tracing crack growth inside fracturing blocks and other related capabilities are available in the postprocessing procedure at each iteration step. Some numerical examples are provided to verify this method, and it is prospective to solve stability problems of the slope with non-through joints and other fracture mechanics problems in a new way.
