Influence of microscale heterogeneity and microstructure on the tensile behavior of crystalline rocks (2014, methodology): “The numerical code Y-Geo [Mahabadi et al., 2012a] used for this study is based on Y-code [Munjiza, 2004], which is an implementation of combined finite-discrete element method (FEM/DEM).”
A coupled FEM/DEM approach for hierarchical multiscale modelling of granular media (2014, result): “Note that the proposed hierarchical approach may be regarded as an inversion of and complementary to the so-called combined finite-DEM (FDEM) pioneered by Munjiza and coworkers [25, 26] and demonstrated elsewhere [27, 28].”
Dynamics, Radiation, and Overall Energy Budget of Earthquake Rupture With Coseismic Off‐Fault Damage (2019, background): “Similar expressions can be found in Rougier et al. (2011) and Lisjak et al. (2014).”
A combined finite-discrete element analysis of dry stone masonry structures (2013, methodology): “The numerical analyses were performed using the FEM/DEM code based on the Munjiza’s Y-code [26] in which a new strain softening curve for tension is implemented [31].”
Competition among plants: Concepts, individual-based modelling approaches, and a proposal for a future research strategy (2008, methodology): “This approach has been widely used for physical problems such as fluid modelling (Harlow, 1957, 1964; Munjiza, 2004) or hydrodynamics of particles (Koumoutsakos, 2005), but only recently has been proposed as a means to overcome certain limitations of grid-based models in ecology (Bithell and Macmill”
A novel approach for micro‐scale characterization and modeling of geomaterials incorporating actual material heterogeneity (2012, methodology): “The elements were critically damped, calculated as 2h ffiffiffiffiffiffi Er p , where h is the element size [Munjiza, 2004].”
A review of experimental investigations and assessment methods for masonry arch bridges (2016, methodology): “In order to simulate fracturing occurrence in the units of the masonry, modelling approaches that combine Distinct Element and FEMs have been developed, named finite-discrete element method (Munjiza, 2004), that include deformable blocks Figure 19.”
