Discrete element method was used to study and analyze the interaction between rice straws
and between rice straw and agricultural machinery parts, thereby providing a scientific basis …

The discrete element method (DEM) is a promising approach to model blade–granular
material interactions. The accuracy of DEM models depends on the model parameters. In …

Discrete element method (DEM) is widely used in studies of particulate matter. Most of these
studies are limited in the modeling of spherical particles due to contact algorithm. It is …

A modified discrete element method (DEM) with rolling effect taken into consideration is
developed to examine macroscopic behavior of granular materials in this study …

The triaxial compression test is the most common laboratory test used to measure the
shearing mechanical properties of granular soils. In this paper, a series of numerical drained …

A numerical model is developed, utilizing the discrete element method, to simulate the
mechanical behaviour of a simulated bulk solid material consisting of uniform, inelastic …

Granular materials are commonly stored in silos, and usually presented in a wide range of
shapes and sizes. To understand its behaviour simulations based on the Discrete Element …

Here the effect of contact properties on discrete element method (DEM) simulations of dry
granular flow was investigated. The particle contact properties were first measured using …

The discrete element method (DEM) has shown considerable advantages for the simulation
of soil-tool interaction simulation. To develop reliable DEM simulations, the selection of an …
