DEM simulation of particle crushing in a triaxial test …
Combining Eqs. (1), (2) and following the work of Hanley et al. (2015), the crushing force acting on the particle of size d can be determined as: (3) F = σ 0 U 0, 1-b s a s d d 0-3 m d 2, where U(0,1) is a random real number between 0 and 1 generated by a uniform distribution seed generator; a s and b s are the slope and the intercept of the …
