Abstract
The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is a numerical technique used to analyze the
motion of discrete particles. DEM is mostly used to analyze the behavior of granular
materials such as sand, gravel, powders, etc. The method can also be combined with
the Beam Bound Model (BBM), which allow the method to be used for continual
problems simulation. However, method is overshadowed in this field by the Finite
Element Method. Its primary application is found in problems requiring consideration
of both continuum and discrete properties, such as crack propagation, especially in the
case of dynamic behaviour. The problem with DEM is its high computational cost,
but by using properties specific to the crack propagation problem, efficient methods
for solving differential equations can be used. This paper focuses on the efficiency
of using the implicit Newmark-beta method to analyze crack propagation in concrete
members.
