Advances in the DEM and Coupled DEM and FEM Techniques in Non Linear Solid Mechanics

In this chapter we present recent advances on the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and on the coupling of the DEM with the Finite Element Method (FEM) for solving a variety of problems in non linear solid mechanics involving damage, plasticity and multifracture situations.
