Abstract Crack propagation in brittle material is not only crucial for structural safety evaluation, but also has a wide-ranging impact on material design, damage assessment, resource extraction, and scientific research. A thorough investigation into the behavior of crack propagation contributes to a better understanding and control of the properties of brittle materials, thereby enhancing the reliability and safety of both materials and structures. As an implicit discrete element method, the Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA) has gained significant attention for its developments and applications in recent years. Among these developments, the particle DDA equipped with the bonded… More >
