The aim of this paper is to obtain, from a numerical study using the discrete element method, quantitative information on the behaviour of a rockfill dam, particularly the effect of rock ageing on the movements of the dam. A numerical model is defined at three different scales: the block scale, the

## Abstract In this paper a spatially uniform discrete Nagumo model is considered. The relation between the number and positions of period‐2 solutions, and the parameter and initial values are discovered. The long‐time behaviours of the solutions are discussed for different parameters and initial v
## Abstract A delayed plastic model, based on the theory of plasticity, is proposed to represent the time‐dependent behaviour of materials. It is assumed in this model that the stress can lie outside the yield surface and the conjugate stress called static stress is defined on the yield surface. Th
