Particle breakage criteria in discrete-element modelling

Previous work by the authors, using the discrete element method (DEM) has used the octahedral shear stress within a sphere together with a Weibull distribution of strengths and a size effect on average strength, to determine whether fracture occurs or not. This leads to fractal particle size distrib...
