A boundary element code for investigating frictional faults in two dimensions. The code incorporates the development of secondary fractures associated with fauting and fracture propagation. |
The boundary element method permits fracture propagation without the computationally expensive remeshing required of finite element codes. FRIC2D is capable of propagation joints from the tips of existing joints and faults as well as initiating joints anywhere along the length of frictional faults where the stresses are suitably concentrated.
For more information peruse the ftp site or the on-line documentaion for FRIC2D.
