Springer - Practice of Discrete Element Method in Soil-Structure

Master the complexities of soil-structural interface shearing behavior with this specialized technical guide from Springer. This book focuses on parametric studies through numerical simulations of interface shear tests using the Discrete Element Method (DEM). By examining the impact of soil properties, particle properties, and structural properties, readers gain a deep understanding of how these variables influence interface behavior. Designed for practical application, this text bridges the gap between theory and implementation. To support your learning and research, the book provides relevant code within each section to explain model generation and controlling modes. Additionally, the complete source code is included in the Appendix, allowing for hands-on practice and direct application of the models discussed. This resource is an essential tool for graduate-level teaching and advanced research in the field of soil mechanics. Whether you are a student or a professional researcher, this book provides the technical foundation and practical coding tools necessary to advance your work in soil-structure interface modelling.
