The combined finite-discrete element method (FDEM) is a powerful numerical tool to simulate the transition of materials from continuous deformation to discontinuous fracturing and fragmentation. Calibrating parameters using laboratory data is crucial for applying FDEM to engineering-scale analysis. Considering the high computational costs in existing calibration schemes, this study proposes an effective FDEM calibration framework employing the Kriging surrogate model rooted in Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) and Brazilian Tensile Strength (BTS) tests. The sensitivity analysis is first conducted on mesh size, loading rate, and numerical parameters to find a suitable set that balances computational efficiency and accuracy. Subsequently, an efficient mapping relationship between input fracture parameters and simulated strengths is established based on the Kriging surrogate model, replacing the expensive FDEM program for forward calculations. With the fracture parameters treated as unknown variables and experimental strengths available, the objective function is formulated and then solved to estimate fracture parameters. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through a numerical example. Compared to the conventional methods, the proposed approach requires fewer simulations of UCS and BTS, which highlights a significant computational efficiency advantage.
