Practice of Discrete Element Method in Soil-Structure Interface Modelling

This book is related to a parametric study of the soil–structural  interface shearing behavior based on the numerical simulations of  interface shear test with DEM, which is conducted from the role of soil  properties, particle properties and structural properties.
To aid  readers in easily understanding the generation, implementation of models  and controlling modes, for each part, the relevant code is provided in  the text, and the whole source code of model is given in Appendix  to share with readers for practice. The book is intended for  graduate-level teaching and research in soil mechanics and geotechnical  engineering, as well as in other related engineering specialties. This  book is also of use to industry practitioners due to the inclusion of  real-world applications, opening the door to advanced courses on  modeling within the industrial engineering and operations research  fields.
