Discrete element modelling of a flexible membrane for triaxial testing of granular material at high pressures
The discrete element method (DEM) has been used to simulate triaxial tests on a bonded material at high pressures. A key feature of the model is the use of a flexible membrane that allows the correct volumetric deformation and the true failure mode to develop while applying constant confining press...
