Rezensionen

"This book is unique in the market, not only because it is the only introductory text of DEM written with so much practical advice for users, but also because of its unique attention to the audience in the area of geomechanics. ... An excellent reference textbook for a graduate course on DEM; it is also an excellent self-study reference for an individual graduate student or engineer who plans to carry out DEM."
-- Helen Cheng, Géotechnique

"This volume on the theory and application of the particulate discrete element modeling approach is the first of its kind in the geomechanics community, and it represents a valuable and highly useable reference for a range of readers interested in numerical mechanical modeling."
