Abstract
null null A distinct element grain-based method (GBM) was developed to simulate the microstructure of rock-like materials. Using this method, a UDEC-GBM model can be readily constructed with a given mineral composition, allowing independent assignment of specific properties to both the grains and grain boundaries. Both intra-granular cracks cutting through the grains and inter-granular cracks developed along grain boundaries can be captured....
