A Hybrid Particle/Finite Element Model with Surface Roughness for Stone Masonry Analysis

Circular and spherical particle models are a class of discrete elements (DEM) that have been increasingly applied to fracture studies of quasi-brittle materials, such as rock and concrete, due to their proven ability to simulate fracture processes through random particle assemblies representing quas...
