Discrete element methods (DEM) comprise a family of related mathematical tools for determining the kinematic behavior of finite-sized particles.

Two prominent members of the DEM family are the distinct element method

proposed by Cundall in 1971, and the

discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) proposed by Shi in 1988.
