| The theme of ICADD-10 is to summarise the progress of discontinuous numerical methods in the past decades and to advance toward the future development and application of discontinuous methods in geomechanics and geoengineering. The technical presentation will cover a wide scope of discontinuous numerical methods from algorithms and mechanics, to modelling techniques and application, including, but not limited to the following topics: |
|
• Key Block Theory and Engineering Applications • Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA) Method • Numerical Manifold Method (NMM) • Distinct/Discrete Element Method (DEM) • Applications of UDEC, 3DEC and PFC codes • Meshless Method and Engineering Applications • Contact Algorithms and Joint Contact Modelling • Interfacing of Discontinuum and Continuum Methods • Wave Propagation in Rock Joints and Jointed Rock Masses • Deformation Analysis of Heterogeneous Materials • Multi-Scale and Multi-Physics in Discontinuous Modelling • Other Advanced Analytical and Numerical Methods in Rock Engineering • Experiment and Measurement of Discontinuous Deformation • Case Studies of Engineering Projects |
