DOI: 10.1007/s00603-018-1689-5
Abstract: This study attempted to explore the evolution of fractures and microcracks at the macro- and micro-scale. Based on the hypothesis of the Weibull distribution for micro-strength parameters, a series of grain distinct element models was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1061/(asce)gm.1943-5622.0000693
Abstract: AbstractLoess soils undergo collapse when the material is loaded and wetted, which leads to engineering problems and disasters. To understand better the collapse mechanisms that govern loess and loess-like deposits under complex stress paths, a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/13632469.2024.2318630
Abstract: ABSTRACT Numerical studies on freestanding structures typically leverage the Distinct Element Method where the response is dictated by joints; however, the response carries significant uncertainty due to joint stiffness parameters. This study aims to quantify… read more here.
