A three-dimensional discrete element model of triaxial tests based on a new flexible membrane boundary
Abstract Based on a new elastic clump model, a flexible membrane is proposed for the discrete element numerical simulations of triaxial tests. Conversional triaxial tests of sandstone under the confining pressures of 2 MPa and 8 MPa were carried out, in order to validate the effectiveness of the pro...
