TY - JOUR AU - Mensah, Luis AU - Islam, Mustafa TI - The Finite Difference Method Applied to Slope Stability JO - Open Access Journal of Engineering Applications PY - 2011 VL - 35 IS - 2 SP - 870 EP - 873 AB - This paper addresses slope stability, an issue of considerable importance to the planning of distributed computing environments. The technique is verified by applying the finite difference method to a set of benchmark problems. The proposed method reduces the error by about 58% compared with the conventional approach. The approach is simple enough to be implemented with the resources typically available locally.
