For numerical simulation, a framework based on coupling of the Discrete Element and the Finite Element Method is used to study load bearing capacity of granular materials during uniaxial compression. In addition, the effect of Young's modulus of particles is also investigated with respect to the load transferability.en1617-7061Proceedings in applied mathematics and mechanics20161311312Wiley-VCHhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Technology::620: Engineering::620.1: Engineering Mechanics and Materials ScienceTechnology::623: Military Engineering and Marine EngineeringNatural Sciences and Mathematics::519: Applied Mathematics, ProbabilitiesNatural Sciences and Mathematics::530: PhysicsDEM-FEM coupled numerical investigation of granular materials to increase crashworthiness of double-hull vesselsConference Paper10.1002/pamm.201610144https://doi.org/10.15480/882.917610.1002/pamm.20161014410.15480/882.9176Conference Paper
