Cj. Pearce et al., Computational aspects of the discontinuous deformation analysis framework for modelling concrete fracture, ENG FRACT M, 65(2-3), 2000, pp. 283-298
Some computational aspects of the Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA)
modelling framework as applied to the modelling of concrete fracturing are
discussed. In particular, the ability of DDA to model concrete behaviour th
rough the entire range of fracture evolution from continuum to discontinuum
is considered. Related topics including displacement controlled DDA analys
is and the monitoring of progressive failure via eigenvalue analysis are al
so presented. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
