The flowing, jamming, and avalanche behavior of granular materials is satisfyingly universal
and vexingly hard to tune: A granular flow is typically intermittent and will irremediably jam if …

由碎散物质组成的地质体失稳流滑大变形所致的地质灾害严重影响国民经济发展和人民生命
财产安全, 绝大多数造成此类地质灾害的对象属于颗粒物质, 而地质灾害与颗粒物质力学的交叉 …

Most geohazards and industrial processes are essentially gravity-driven dense granular
flows. Deep understanding of the effect of gravity on granular flow is of crucial importance in …

The essence of most geological hazards and industrial processes is gravity-driven flows of
dense particles. In this research, we use the discrete element method to simulate the particle …

This paper aims to study the influence of particle shape on the shear strength of
superellipsoidal particles by Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations of triaxial tests in …

This work studies the macroscopic and microscopic behaviors of ellipsoids under triaxial
tests using 3D discrete element method (DEM) simulation. To avoid the boundary effect, a …

Experimental measurements of contact forces are limited to spheres and disks in three and
two dimensions, making the evaluation of shape effect and universality of force distributions …

The geological disasters caused by avalanche, large scale deformation, and flow slide of the
geo-granular materials have brought massive destruction and potential threats to national …

This research paper presents an investigation into the shear behavior of binary mixtures
composed of cubic and spherical particles, employing the discrete element method (DEM) …

Under external perturbations, inter-particle forces in disordered granular media are well
known to form a heterogeneous distribution with filamentary patterns. Better understanding …
