Summary
The aim of the study, described in this paper, is to numerically identify the mechanical properties of composite materials using the discrete element method. This method provides an opportunity to treat the problems of discontinuity inducing damage and crack propagation. Initially, a qualitative and quantitative analysis is carried out for conventional tests (tensile, shear). The results are compared to those from using the finite element method.
