Combination of discrete element and finite element methods for dynamic analysis of geomechanics problems

open access: yesComputer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2004
The paper presents combination of discrete element method (DEM) and finite element method (FEM) for dynamic analysis of geomechanics problems. Combined models can employ spherical (or cylindrical in 2D) rigid elements and finite elements in the ...

A variational integrator for the Discrete Element Method [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Computational Physics, 2022
A novel implicit integration scheme for the Discrete Element Method (DEM) based on the variational integrator approach is presented. The numerical solver provides a fully dynamical description that, notably, reduces to an energy minimisation scheme in the quasi-static limit.

Simulating Fractures With Bonded Discrete Element Method [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 2022
Along with motion and deformation, fracture is a fundamental behaviour for solid materials, playing a critical role in physically-based animation. Many simulation methods including both continuum and discrete approaches have been used by the graphics community to animate fractures for various materials.
