Simple Scaling of Catastrophic Landslide Dynamics
Göran Ekström,Colin P. Stark +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that landslide dynamics are primarily determined by the length scale of the source mass, which is consistent with a simple acceleration model in which height drop and rupture depth scale with the length of the failing slope.

Discrete numerical model for granular assemblies.
Peter Cundall,Otto D. L. Strack +1 more
TL;DR: The distinct element method as mentioned in this paper is a numerical model capable of describing the mechanical behavior of assemblies of discs and spheres and is based on the use of an explicit numerical scheme in which the interaction of the particles is monitored contact by contact and the motion of the objects modelled particle by particle.

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.
