Investigating the Evolution of Rock Discontinuity Asperity Degradation and Void Space Morphology under Direct Shear
… the use of hybrid Finite-Discrete element (FEM-DEM) modelling, the experimentally observed shearing process was then recreated numerically to glean further insight into the shearing process and the different mechanisms involved. To do so, a new calibration procedure was first developed to …

Investigating the Influence of Mechanical anisotropy on the Fracturing Behaviour of Brittle Clay Shales with Application to Deep Geological Repositories
… combined finite-discrete element method (FEM/DEM), a numerical technique which allows the explicit simulation of brittle fracturing and associated seismicity. The numerical experimentation firstly focused on the laboratory-scale analysis of failure processes (e.g., acoustic activity) in …
