Experimental and DEM analysis of the dissipation involved in the collision of a boulder with a substratum

Experiments and numerical analysis were both carried out to evaluate the amount of energy dissipated during the rebound between single boulder (concrete made blocks with many varied shapes) and a soft or stiff substratum. A high speed camera made it possible to analyze the collision kinematics and t...
