ABSTRACT
This part deals with a series of sensitivity analysis of the model parameters of a particle assembly on the several selected macroscopic responses.The macroscopic responses considered here are: 1) uniaxial compressive strength, σC ; 2)Young’s modulus, E; 3) Poisson’s ratio, ν; 4) ratio of σ C to Brazilian tensile strength, σT ; 5) friction angle, ϕ.
