Microplastic (MP) pollution is a well document threat to our aquatic and terrestrial
ecosystems, however, the mechanisms by which MPs are transported in river flows are still …

The high potential of water treatment and biogas production systems using liquid fluidization
is still underexplored. The design of this equipment is usually done using the simple …

Energy dissipation during particle impact has been widely studied in different fields where
material plastic deformation is one of the main dissipation mechanisms. However, heat …

Granular flows are characterised by particle interactions that involve sliding and collisions. In
such events, heat is generated from friction and plastic deformation. Despite the importance …

Discrete element parameters of the black bean (BLB) are key to developing high-
performance BLB machineries (eg, seeders and shellers), which are still lacking in previous …

This investigation implements systematical research on the coefficient of restitution (CoR)
and nonphysical attraction force. Firstly, a characteristic length is redefined based on energy …

Particulate materials are prevalent in the natural and engineering fields, and the screening
of particulate materials is constantly improving with the development of industrial needs …

Particle–target surface interactions are ubiquitous in nature and play an essential role in
predicting the adhesion and rebound dynamics of incident particles during the collision …

This study proposes two novel semi-analytical coefficients of restitution (CoR) models to
predict nonlinear impact behavior in granular systems. The models address energy loss at …

Abstract Material Point Method is used to study the impact deformation of elastic-perfectly
plastic spherical particles. A wide range of material properties, ie density, Young's modulus …
