Vertex Displacement-Based Discontinuous Deformation Analysis Using Virtual Element Method

To avoid disadvantages caused by rotational degrees of freedom in the original Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA), a new block displacement mode is defined within a time step, where displacements of all the block vertices are taken as the degrees of freedom. An individual virtual element space...
