Estudo comparativo de formulações alternativas do método dos elementos de contorno para elasticidade bidimensional
… alternative formulations to the Boundary Element Method was made for two-dimensional elasticity problems. The direct Boundary Element Method, indirect Boundary Element Method, Superposition Method and the Displacement Discontinuity Method were compared through computacional tests applied at …

An experimental and numerical study on the fracturing processes in Opalinus shale
… the bedding planes. FROCK, a model based on the Displacement Discontinuity Method (a type of Boundary Element Model) developed at MIT, was modified to incorporate the effect of bedding planes on the crack propagation patterns. A discontinuous critical strain criterion was implemented into the …

Solving three-dimensional problems in natural and hydraulic fracture development : insight from displacement discontinuity modeling
… of fractures. In this study, we implemented 3-D displacement discontinuity (DD) boundary element modeling to investigate the following intrinsically 3-D natural or hydraulic fracture propagation problems: the effect of fracture height on lateral propagation of vertical natural fractures, joint …
