Editing Discrete element method (section)

==Combined finite-discrete element method==

Following the work by Munjiza and Owen, the combined finite-discrete element method has been further developed to various irregular and deformable particles in many applications including pharmaceutical tableting,<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Lewis |first1=R.
