3-D Numerical Study on Progressive Failure Characteristics of Marbles under Unloading Conditions

3-D particle-based discrete element method (PB-DEM) was employed to numerically study the mechanical and progressive failure characteristics of pre-fissured marble specimens under conventional triaxial unloading conditions. The microscopic parameters of PB-DEM for marble materials were calibrated us...
