Title: A Discrete Element Study of the Uniaxial Compressive Response of Plain Concrete using the JCFPM Constitutive Model
Author: Joshi, Anay
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering
Description: The standard bonded-particle models available in many discrete element method (DEM) codes are known to predict unrealistically low values for the ratio of ultimate compressive strength (UCS) to tensile strength (UTS) for concrete. To correct this,...

Title: A discrete element approach to predicting the uniaxial compressive response of plain concrete
Author: Tannu, Nakul
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering
Description: Discrete element method (DEM) has become the method of choice for modeling the mechanical response of materials with granular structure. The method consists of representing the material as a collection of particles that interact with each other by...
