Calibration of the Discrete Element Method and Modeling of Shortening Experiments

Calibration of the Discrete Element Method and Modeling of Shortening Experiments

The discrete element method (DEM) is becoming widely accepted as an effective method for addressing tectonic problems in granular materials. It is capable of reproducing structures observed in the analog model (AM). However, the previous experiments also pointed to variability among DEM models and A...
