An element free Galerkin method which does not require connectivity between elements and nodes is examined its efficiency for rock experiment. In this study, uni-axial tensile and compressive tests and collapse of cavity are examined. In this process, the rock specimen is assumed to heterogeneous assigned by Weibull distribution. Acoustic Emission which is microscopic behavior of the specimen agrees with laboratory tests, and failure mode of the specimen also agrees with general laboratory test results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
