The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A bonded-particle model for rock (2004, background): “[33,34], where the stiffness and strength of elements in a continuum with initial heterogeneous strength are allowed to degrade based on a strength failure criterion in the form of an elastic–brittle–plastic constitutive relation.”
