摘要

A novel discrete element modelling (DEM) approach for simulating the fracture behaviour of jointed rock masses has been developed. Unlike conventional DEM models, the fracture behaviour of joints is accurately captured through a constrained meshing technique without the need for additional constitutive models. The proposed method is validated against physical experiments conducted on multi-jointed rock mass specimens. The proposed method achieves high geometric fidelity, offers a streamlined modelling process, and demonstrates high computational efficiency, making it suitable for large-scale simulations of jointed rock masses.
