Abstract The Discrete Element Method (DEM) offers great potential as a design tool for the
bulk simulation of cohesive systems. However, DEM simulations may require simplified …

Collapse of granular material is usually accompanied by long run-out granular flows in
natural hazards, eg rock/debris flow and snow avalanches. This paper presents a novel …

This state-of-the-art covers advances in the constitutive modelling, experimental
investigation and field measurement of suction for unsaturated soils. It consists of three …

Abstract The Discrete Element Method (DEM) has the prospect of accurately modelling the
bulk flows of cohesive materials if the cohesive input parameters are reliably calibrated …

We investigate the submerged collapse of weakly polydisperse, loosely packed cohesive
granular columns, as a function of aspect ratio and cohesive force strength, via grain …

Comprehension of wet particle behavior is of great importance in science and engineering.
In the past two decades, modeling and simulation for wet particles have been extensively …

The unchannelized collapse of wet granular columns in the pendular state is investigated
experimentally. Three different collapse regimes are observed in experiments, which are …

Developing an accurate and efficient contact model for discrete element method (DEM)
simulation that can describe the microscopic dynamics of low moisture content wet granular …

Laboratory experiments on the collapse of a liquid-saturated granular column on a
horizontal plane are reported. The trigger and the resulting dynamics of the collapse when …

Dry granular materials have been the subject of many investigations, while wet granular
materials, which widely exist in many real-world applications, have only received limited …
