Numerical simulations of materials with micro-structure : limit analysis and homogenization techniques
Continuum-based numerical methods have played a leading role in the numerical solution of problems in soil and rock mechanics. However, for stratified soils and fractured rocks, a continuum assumption often leads to difficult parameters to define and over-simplified geometry to be realistic. In such...
