Simulation of microscopic fracture characteristics of fractured rock based on CZM-FDEM method by Qianjin Zou, Haigang Li, Yu Zheng, Xinru Zhang, Liuyue Wang, Jiyong Zhang

“…The model considers the mechanical behaviour of cohesive elements between particles within the rock and the propagation of cracks through the damage of cohesive elements. In the damage evolution stage of the cohesive element ontological relationship, the damage variable D is introduced to describe the damage degree of the unit stiffness, which in turn characterises the microscopic damage features of the model. …”
