A critical scientific review evaluates how discrete element modeling captures grain-scale deformation mechanisms to improve ...

A study combining physical compression experiments with discrete element modeling demonstrates how internal mechanical damage ...

The Block Discrete Element Method is widely used in engineering research because it can accurately model fractured rock masses. However, the accuracy of simulations depends on selecting appropriate ...

Covering small and large deformation behavior of solids and structures, this reference deals with the analysis and modelling of structures from large civil engineering projects such as dams, to ...

Abstract The discrete element methods (DEM) are numerical techniques that have been specifically developed to enable simulations of systems of multiple distinct, typically infinitely rigid, bodies ...
