Bonded-Particle Model with Nonlinear Elastic Tensile Stiffness for Rock-Like Materials
The bonded-particle model (BPM) is a very efficient numerical method in dealing with initiation and propagation of cracks in rocks and can model the fracture processes and most of macro parameters of rocks well. However, typical discrete element method (DEM) underestimates the ratio of the uniaxial...
