Truss-like Discrete Element Method Applied to Damage Process Simulation in Quasi-Brittle Materials

This paper discusses the combined application of the lattice discrete element method (LDEM) and the acoustic emission (AE) technique to analyze damage in quasi-brittle materials. These methods were used to study the damage in a concrete slab under pure-shear stress and a pre-fissured sandstone beam...
