Certain Discrete Element Methods in Problems of Fracture Mechanics

In this paper two discrete element methods (DEM) are discussed. The free hexagon element method is considered a powerful discrete element method, which is broadly used in mechanics of granular media. It substitutes the methods for solving continuum problems. The great disadvantage of classical DEM,...
