The discrete element method (DEM) is a numerical tool used for the modelling of granular
materials. However, accurate predictions of material behaviour can only be made if the input …

Breakage occurs in several particulate systems that are simulated using the discrete
element method (DEM), namely crushing and grinding as well as inadvertently in several …

Compressive crushing has been proven to be one of the most energy efficient principles for
breaking rock particles (Schönert, 1979). In this paper the cone crusher, which utilizes this …

Abstract Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulation using a breakage model is applied to
study a broad range of existing compression based crushers to better understand machine …

Predictions of particle flow and compression breakage of non-round rock passing through
an industrial scale cone crusher are presented. The DEM (Discrete Element Method) particle …

Granular breakage is a common phenomenon among rockfill dams, mineral engineering,
and geological phenomenon. In this work, we perform one-dimensional compression tests …

Abstract Description of particle breakage embedded in a simulation using the discrete
element method (DEM) qualifies it to describe processes in which breakage is either desired …

It has recently been reported that under sleeper pads (USPs) could improve ballasted rail
track by decreasing the sleeper settlement and reducing particle breakage. In order to find …

The mechanical properties of rockfill materials deteriorate when subjected to different
environmental factors. Accurately evaluating the deterioration effect on mechanical …

Particle scale modelling of comminution processes can provide significant insight into the
flow of particles, their breakage, the effect of slurry, wear and energy utilisation within these …
