In this thesis, the flat-top partition of unity (PU) based high-order Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA) is developed and applied in simulating different problems. In the proposed method, the continuous blocks in the problem domain are discretized by the flat-top PU mesh, and the interactions...
