Among various numerical methods, the numerical manifold method (NMM) is one of most suitable method to simulate deformations and stabilities of rock masses. The NMM itself can be thought as a bridge connecting two branches of numerical method: continuum methods (e.g. FEM) and discontinuum methods (e...
