Application of cohesive crack model to simulation of rocks mechanical behavior in grain-based distinct element model

This paper aims to study the mechanical behavior of rocks subjected to different mechanical loading conditions using the Cohesive Crack Model (CCM) and Grain-Based Model (GBM) in the Distinct Element Method (DEM) simulations. In the GBM-DEM, the Voronoi tessellation scheme is used, and intact materi...
