Parallel Cellular Element Method in Soil-Rock Mechanics
Jing Nan Yang, Xiong Jun He · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2013
A new soil-rock mechanics method—parallel cellular element method is introduced. In this method the integer analysis of structure is changed into a series of part analysis by using the idea of Cellular Automata. It may have a good future in soil-rock mechanics. The basic principle is introduced; the computing steps and results are presented. Based on the numerical results, the feasibility, advantages of cellular element method are discussed.
