vbox -v

During the development of VBOX, We referred to a large number of materials, i.e., Linear model (Cundall et al.,1979)，Lattice Solid Model (Hardy et al.,2009; Liu et al.,2013 ), and Hertz-Mindlin Morgan (2015), TRUBAL, RICEBAL, PFC2D users’ manual (Itasca,2004), YADE. If you are using VBOX for numerical simulations, you need to properly cite the appropriate literature.
