ABSTRACT
When the situation σHMH ≥ Rm occurs (i.e. the equivalent stress is greater than the fracture limit) in some elements of the ore, then these elements break off (i.e. these elements are dead). Hence, a part of the ore disintegrates. In MSC.Marc/Mentat software, this is done by deactivating the elements that satisfy the condition σHMH ≥ Rm. This deactivation of the elements
was performed in every 5th step of the solution, see Figure 4.
