Several analytical methods of the soil–tool interaction have been developed and tested, but
they are time consuming and require large effort, which has prevented their widespread use …

In this study we conducted the sensitivity analysis of the parallel bond used in the discrete
element method (DEM, 3D) based soil model. We researched those parameters which …

During the process of plant oil extraction major part of the power input transforms into
thermal energy caused by friction. The evolved heat has a very significant effect on the …

Oil extraction is an energy consuming process. During this process part of the energy is
transformed into thermal energy. The heat load of the material is able to modify the quality of …

Virtual DEM models were developed in correspondence with the real tests. In this article we
will introduce the methods of how DEM approach was used in developing a model for the …
