Numerical Simulation of Particle Breakage of Granular Assemblies in Discrete Element Analyses

This paper presents numerical simulations of high-pressure biaxial tests on breakable granular soils with the discrete element method. The 2D setting is more economic in terms of computational cost, which allows simulation with a larger number of particles with a wider size distribution. The results...
