Abstract

This paper introduces the Y-HFDEM code based on two-dimensional combinedfinite-discrete-element method (FEM/DEM) for numerical simulation of fracturing process in brittleand semi-brittle materials including rocks. The code has been successfully employed to simulate rockbreakage under both quasi-static (e.g. uniaxial compression) and dynamic (e.g. rock blasting) loadingconditions. However, the most challenging part in the application of the original Y-HFDEM code wasits simulation time required to solve large-scale problems with massive number of nodes, elementsand contact interactions. To overcome this limitation, this paper demonstrates the application ofGPGPU (General Purpose Graphic Processing Unit) and CUDA (Compute Unified DeviceArchitecture) C/C++ to parallelize the original sequential 2-D Y-HFDEM code along with relatednumerical algorithms using the GPGPU. Obtained results from verification examples demonstrate thecapability of the proposed Y-HFDEM code in modelling larger scale problems in which massivecomputational effort is required.
