Yade is an extensible open-source framework for discrete numerical models, focused on the
Discrete Element Method. The computation parts are written in c++ using a flexible object …

Sea ice in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) consists of relatively small floes with a wide size span.
In response to oceanic and atmospheric forcing, it behaves as an approximately two …

The slurry infiltration process contributes significantly to the stability of tunnelling face during
the application of slurry pressure balanced tunnel boring machine (SPB TBM) in …

Large deformation soil behavior underpins the operation and performance for a wide range
of key geotechnical structures and needs to be properly considered in their modeling …

This paper investigates the role of force chains in granular materials under both quasi-static
biaxial loading and dynamic impact loading conditions. This study is mainly interested in …

In this paper, we propose a phase-field-based Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) model
coupled with the Discrete Element Method (DEM) for simulating unsaturated granular media …

Liquefaction resistance of sand can be either increased or reduced due to an undrained
cyclic pre-shearing depending on the degree of pre-shearing, which hinders a better …

Pullout of plate anchors from granular sands is investigated using a novel computational
multiscale approach. We employ the material point method (MPM) to solve a large …

Establishing quantifiable links between individual-particle dynamics and macroscopic
response of granular materials has been a longstanding challenge, with implications in …

This study presents a scalable three‐dimensional (3D) multiscale framework for continuum‐
discrete modeling of granular materials. The proposed framework features rigorous coupling …
