The Case Study Analysis of Strain–Stress for Jointed Rock Mass Using Element Free Galerkin Method and Paton’s Failure

摘要

In this paper evaluated a case study for jointed rock mass using element free Galerkin method and Paton’s failure. The displacement field of each block is constructed by the moving least-squares interpolation with an array of points distributed in the block. The essential boundary conditions are enforced using penalty method. It is shown that excellent results are obtained and less calculation time is required as compared to finite difference method.
