Abstract: This paper uses the model described in Ref. 1 to simulate fracture in many simple systems with the goal of evaluating the advantages and deficiencies of the model. The examples include compressive failure of a rectangular sample, four-point shear failure of a beam and the impact of particles with a plate and binary impacts of particles. Where possible, the simulated results seem to be in good agreement with typical experimental results. Finally, a simulation of ball-milling, which involves the flow and fracture of many particles is shown to demonstrate the overall utility of the model.
