Oedometric compression of a granular material: computation of energies involved during breakage with a discrete element modelling

A numerical model able to simulate the grain breakage with the discrete element method, using the “Non-Smooth Contact Dynamics” is presented. The model reproduces 3D grains having complex shapes and is tested in single grain and in oedometric compressions. Numerical simulations are then carried out...
