It is necessary to take into account the micro discretization of natural rock when studying its macroscopic failure behavior. This requirement has resulted in renewed and increased interest in the discrete or framework/lattice numerical modeling techniques. However, to fully construct a numerical model for practical applications using a discrete numerical model is computationally difficult with current...
A 3D distinct lattice spring model (DLSM) is proposed where matter is discretized into individual particles linked by springs. The presented model is different from the conventional lattice spring models where a shear spring is introduced to model the multibody force by evaluating the spring deformation from the local strain rather than the particle displacement. By doing this, the proposed model...
