This blog focuses on the papers in Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2007.

Finite thickness of the interface is considered in this paper. This is different from our previous approach.

It is interesting to compare the decohesion simulation reported in this paper with our results from both micromechanics and multiscale homogenization.

The Discrete Element Method used is a quasi-molecular method in which a continuum is represented by a collection of interacting, non-deforming, mesoscale-sized particles.

A continuum in model is treated like a granular material.

I am interested in using this approach to study shockwaves, but how trustable are the results?
