As a promising and convenient numerical calculation approach, the discrete element
method (DEM) has been increasingly adopted in the research of agricultural machinery …

The paper deals with the calculations of a 3-point bending beam under static and dynamic
loads. The real microstructure was obtained from laboratory tests using micro-tomography …

The paper shows three-dimensional (3D) numerical mesoscopic results on progressive
concrete fracture at aggregate level in a notched concrete beam under bending. A classical …

The paper describes two-dimensional meso-scale numerical results of fracture in notched
concrete beams under quasi-static three-point bending. Concrete was modelled as a …

The article deals with two-dimensional mesoscopic numerical results of fracture in concrete
at the aggregate scale in a beam with a notch under bending. The focus was on the effects …

The paper focuses on the DEM modelling of the behaviour of plain concrete during uniaxial
compression and uniaxial tension using the discrete element method. The model takes into …

The paper describes experimental and numerical results of concrete fracture under quasi-
static uniaxial compression. Experimental uniaxial compression tests were performed on …

This paper presents the lattice element models, as a class of discrete models, in which the
structural solid is represented as an assembly of one-dimensional elements. This idea …

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 …

Numerical simulations using the 3D discrete element method can yield mechanical and
dynamic behaviors similar to rocks and grains. In the model, rock is represented by bonded …
