Not sure it's been translated. More important : the DEM part is written 
by Michel Jean in a very general context, Cundall's model appears as a 
particular case, where stiffness is considered a "regularization 
function" (i.e. a numerical trick more than a physical law), there is 
not much details about effective computation of 3D geometries.
I would prefer another reference...

What about your PhD thesis? Didn't you summarize the equations in SDEC?
