The study of breakage in granulation is important from a process and from a product quality
perspective. Breakage is considered an important rate process in granulation, and plays …

Highlights Published literature on grain kernel damage during handling is reviewed. Types
and sources of grain kernel damage are discussed. Factors affecting the level of grain kernel …

The fracture and fragmentation of rock grains is attracting increasingly more research
attention because it is relevant to today's challenges with particle raw materials. To …

This paper investigates the characteristics of dynamic rock fragmentation and its influence
on the postfailure fragment trajectory. A series of numerical simulations by discrete element …

We study the brittle fragmentation of spheres by using a three-dimensional discrete element
model. Large scale computer simulations are performed with a model that consists of …

The dynamic fragmentation of granite at impact energies of 6–28J is examined in this paper.
Results indicate that more dense materials, or those with a higher quartz content, produce …

Rockfalls involving abrupt movements of rock masses detached from steep slopes or cliffs 1
are widely observed in mountainous areas. These events can cause significant hazards to …

The Rosin‐Rammler particle size distribution is used for a broad range of applications.
Physical and statistical properties of the Rosin‐Rammler distribution and its parameters …

This study probed the compaction-deformation and breakage characteristics of loose broken
coal under stress–temperature coupling loads. The constitutive model of loose broken coal …

A direct method is proposed to rapidly fragment bodies during impulse-based discrete
element method simulations of multiple body interactions. The approach makes use of …
