This paper is the second of a series of two papers dealing with the determination of the deformability, tensile strength and fracturing of anisotropic rocks by diametral compression (Brazilian test) of discs of rock. It is shown how a new formulation of the Boundary Element Method (BEM), proposed re
In this paper, a single-region BEM formulation for the three-dimensional analysis of fractures in geomechanics is developed. The technique allows the use of continuous elements in the discretization of the crack surfaces. Intially, an example from earthquake control theory is solved to demonstrated
