Abstract Liu et al.(2018) preliminarily proposed a bonded-particle model (BPM) for disk-
based discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA). This BPM can resist relative rotation of …

Large impulsive waves generated by slope failures and a subsequent landslide in a
reservoir area may lead to serious damage to the dam, shoreline properties and lives …

Landslide movement analysis over three-dimensional (3D) topography is crucial for hazard
evaluation and prevention. This paper presents a new approach to simulate landslide …

Simulating large-scale problems are still challenging for discontinuous deformation analysis
(DDA). To this end, this paper develops an efficient disk-based DDA (DDDA) model …

Landslides are common phenomena in mountainous regions worldwide. Over the past two
decades, catastrophic rockslides in mountainous regions have caused serious damage and …

In the contact theory for three-dimensional discontinuous deformation analysis (3-D DDA),
the first step is to identify the types of contacts between the blocks. This paper presents a …

Rock cutting and rock penetration are typical problems in civil, mining, petroleum, and
geothermal engineering disciplines. They involve dynamic fracturing and fragmentation of …

In this paper, for the first time, disk-based discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) is
applied to simulate a real landslide triggered by an earthquake. For this purpose, the …

A new C++ programming strategy with high modularization and good portability, and a novel
data storage format for simultaneous equations with little computer memory consumption, no …

This paper extends three-dimensional discontinuous deformation analysis (3-D DDA) to
model the frictional-cohesive failure behavior of geotechnical materials and structures …
