Résumé

The combined finite-discrete element method is gaining increasing importance in engineering programmes and is at the forefront of current efforts in computational modelling of the failure of solids. The method has significant applications in petroleum and mining engineering, rock blasting, demolition (collapsing buildings), blast loads, powder technology and many more areas. It is therefore vital that engineers understand the method and know how to work with it. Featuring the latest developments of this dynamic field, Munjiza s comprehensive treatment provides detailed descriptions of all algorithmic aspects of the combined finite-discrete element method. Special features include:

Coverage of all algorithmic aspects of the combine finite-discrete element method.
Describes all algorithms procedures in detail ccompanied by C based implementations.
Source codes and examples of input and output files, made available on the internet to accompany the applications at www.wileyeurope.com/go/FiniteDiscreteElementMethod

The Combined Finite-Discrete Element Method is an excellent reference for mechanical and civil engineers working with and involved in developing finite-discrete element programmes. This book also provides support to postgraduate students, computer programmers, scientists and researchers who wish to increase their knowledge of the finite-discrete element method.
