Probabilistic Calibration of a Discrete Particle Model

A discrete element model (DEM) capable of reproducing the mechanistic behavior of a triaxial compressive test performed on a Vosges sandstone specimen is presented considering similar experimental testing conditions and densely packed spherical elements with low lock-in stress. The main aim of this...
