It is well recognised that particle breakage in granular materials is affected by stress level, stress path, initial density, and particle size distribution (PSD), amongst others. Furthermore, it has been shown that breakage has a significant influen... Read More about Revisiting Hardin’s parameters for the quantification of particle breakage – A statistical entropy approach.

This article describes the discrete element method (DEM) for the modeling of the geotechnical behavior of soils. Emphasis is made on a description of the algorithms and capabilities of the method rather than on the implementation details and equation...
