“…The sleepers are built by combining discs as a Clump (rigid block), and the rail is built by bonding discs together as a beam with linear 99 parallel bonds. The linear parallel bonds present a physical performance similar to the cement, which can glue together the two contacting discs (Guo et al 2020a).…”

“…The DEM is an effective and reliable approach to present the granular material properties of ballast assembly, e.g. density, degradation, particle size and particle shape (Guo et al 2020a), and has been successfully applied in many ballast-related studies, such as, under sleeper pads (Li and McDowell 2018), ballast particle acceleration (Liu et al 2019) and friction sleeper (Guo et al 2020b). The hybrid discrete-continuum approach has been proved to be an effective solution for the ballasted track studies involving the subgrade (Shao et al 2017;Ngo et al 2017;Li et al 2019;Shi et al 2020a).…”

“…Particle shape representation and reconstruction are becoming increasingly important for numerical investigations of particle morphology and its effects on micro-macro mechanical behavior [1,[30][31][32]. Clumps, clusters and polyhedrons have typically been used in discrete element modeling to represent a realistic shape, along with developed overlapping or skeletonization algorithms (e.g.…”
