A bonded-particle model for rock
D.O. Potyondy,Peter Cundall +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical model for rock is proposed in which the rock is represented by a dense packing of non-uniform-sized circular or spherical particles that are bonded together at their contact points and whose mechanical behavior is simulated by the distinct element method using the two-and three-dimensional discontinuum programs PFC2D and PFC3D.
Journal ArticleDOI
The synthetic rock mass approach for jointed rock mass modelling
Diego Mas Ivars,Matthew Pierce,Caroline Darcel,J.M. Reyes-Montes,D.O. Potyondy,R. Paul Young,Peter Cundall +6 more
TL;DR: The synthetic rock mass (SRM) model as discussed by the authors uses the bonded particle model for rock to represent intact material and the smooth-joint contact model (SJM) to represent the in situ joint network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulating stress corrosion with a bonded-particle model for rock
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical model for rock that extends the formulation of the bonded-particle model (BPM) to include time-dependent behavior by adding a damage-rate law to the parallel-bond formulation is described.
