Granular materials are abundant in nature, and in most industries, either the initial
constituents or final products are in granular form during a production or processing stage …

The parameters of wet sand and gravel particles with different shapes are calibrated based
on JKR contact model. The results reveal that surface energy and rolling friction coefficient …

Sand aging, defined by time-dependent increases in stiffness and strength over periods
ranging from days to months, poses significant challenges in geotechnical engineering and …

In-situ alloying using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) allows for formation of new alloys and
complicated components with spatially controlled characteristics. A major issue in in-situ …

Erosion is one of the continuous wear mechanisms in cohesive materials caused by the
shear stress applied by the fluid flow at the liquid–solid interface. The erosion resistance of …

Earthquake-induced diffuse landslide can cause considerable harm. This study used
discrete element modeling (DEM) to investigate the diffuse failure of soil slopes triggered by …

In this work, the screening process of an industrial-scale roller screen was simulated based
on the validated discrete element method (DEM). The effects of the feed rate, rotational …

Abstract Although DEM (Discrete Element Method) was introduced> 40 years ago, there are
still various challenges in applying it with a certain level of confidence. To develop a realistic …

DEM study of the size segregation of spherical and cubical wet particles was conducted with
a linear cohesion contact model. The effects of cohesion force on segregation pattern and …

Multi-media filters are widely applied in water treatment, yet the understanding of powder
transportation mechanisms at particle-scale and clogging prediction is still lacking. In this …
