The combined finite discrete element method is a relatively new computational tool aimed at
problems involving static and/or dynamic behaviour of systems involving a large number of …

This textbook compiles reports written by about 35 internationally recognized authorities,
and covers a range of interests for geotechnical engineers. Topics include: fundamentals for …

Experiments were performed in a shear cell device with adjustable lower wall velocity. Glass
spheres with a mean diameter of 3 mm were used as granular materials. Image processing …

Segregation in Vibrated Granular Systems explains the individual mechanisms that
influence the segregation of granular media under vibration, along with their interactions …

In traditional kinetic theory for a granular flow, it is usually assumed that particle interactions
are instantaneous and binary. For a dense granular system, these assumptions are usually …

Agglomeration of fine particles in wet granulation is achieved by introducing a binder fluid
onto a shearing mass of powder. Owing to the viscosity and the surface tension of the fluid …

Experiments were performed in a shear cell device with four different wall conditions. The
glass spheres with a mean diameter of 3 mm were used as granular materials. Three …

This paper studies the flow behavior of granular materials in a shear cell. The average and
fluctuating velocities in the streamwise and transverse directions were measured by the …

The transport properties of wet granular materials in a shear cell apparatus have been
studied. If the particles are wet, the flow becomes more viscous forming liquid bridges …

An agglomerate made of solid particles held together by a viscous liquid phase when
sheared in an otherwise dry granular material is observed to deform by stretching. This …
