Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

The purpose of this review paper is to present the techniques, advances, problems and
likely future developments in numerical modelling for rock mechanics. Such modelling is …

With its combination of practicality, readability, and rigor that is characteristic of any truly
authoritative reference and text, Fracture Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications quickly …

The purpose of this CivilZone review paper is to present the techniques, advances,
problems and likely future development directions in numerical modelling for rock …

By introducing the concept of mathematical cover and physical cover, the numerical
manifold method (NMM) is able to solve continuous and discontinuous problems in a unified …

The present paper is concerned with the effective numerical implementation of the two‐
dimensional dual boundary element method, for linear elastic crack problems. The dual …

We propose a boundary-element-based method for crack problems in multilayered elastic
medium that consists of a set of individually homogeneous strata. The method divides the …

By using a Rock Failure Process Analysis code, RFPA2D, numerical simulations on samples
of rock-like material containing three flaws under uniaxial compressive loading are …

The mechanical behavior of the interphase between fibers and matrix is modeled by
continuity of tractions, and a linear relation between displacement differences across the …

The strength of an adhesive contact between two bodies can strongly depend on the
macroscopic and microscopic shape of the surfaces. In the past, the influence of roughness …
