Overview of High Precision Adaptive Numerical Manifold Method

Abstract:

The core of the numerical manifold method (NMM) is a two-mesh problem description. Two meshes are employed in an analysis: the mathematical mesh provides the nodes for building a finite covering of the solution domain, while the physical mesh provides the domain of integration. The NMM can deal with the continuum and discontinuous problem, and has been applied to the rock mechanics and engineering widely. This paper introduces the research progress of the NMM in the basic theory and application aspects. The adaptive mesh generation of NMM is discussed. The adaptive finite cover mesh reconstruction technology is given.
