anisotropy in granular media. Based on three-dimensional Discrete Element Method (DEM) …

We propose an extension of the Discrete Element Method for the numerical simulation of
cemented sands, in which spherical particles are bonded together by elastic beams …

A three-dimensional bonded contact model is developed in this study to simulate the
mechanical behavior of bonded granular material using the Discrete Element Method. Two …

This paper presents the results of a comprehensive study of the effects of rolling resistance
on the stress–strain and strain localization behavior of granular materials using the discrete …

A micro-mechanical model to study the microscopic and macroscopic behavior of
unsaturated soils under different suctions is proposed in this study. In the model, a novel …

The dynamic fragmentation of jointed rock blocks during rockslide avalanches has been
investigated by discrete element method simulations for a multiple arrangement of a rock …

A bonded particle model is investigated by means of an extended Discrete Element Method
with respect to failure of strong rock in uniaxial compression. A coordination number based …

An approach is devised to determine the mechanical parameters of the microstructure of
Dalian limestone rockfill material (DLRM) in triaxial compression DEM simulation. The …

A plasticity model is proposed to simulate the monotonic and cyclic behaviour of cemented
sand. The model is an extension of the critical state-based bounding surface plasticity model …
