Improved Block Element Method for Simulating Rock Failure

As a discontinuous deformation method, the block element method (BEM) characterizes a material’s elastoplastic behavior through the constitutive relation of thin-layer elements between adjacent blocks. To realistically simulate rock damage paths, this work improves the traditional BEM by using rando...
