The arrangements of particles and forces in granular materials have a complex organization
on multiple spatial scales that range from local structures to mesoscale and system-wide …

Soft, disordered, micro-structured materials are ubiquitous in nature and industry, and are
different from ordinary fluids or solids, with unusual, interesting static and flow properties …

The focus of the current investigation is to study the influence of particles' shape on
segregation of bi-disperse mixture of particles in a rotating drum. The effects of various …

The effects of particle size ratio on the mechanical behaviors of binary mixtures are
investigated using three-dimensional discrete element method. The samples with three …

Linear packing models are commonly used to predict the specific volume of a packing
mixture composed of several size classes of particles. In a linear packing model, the specific …

Binary mixtures represent the simplest case of polydisperse particulate systems which
exhibit interesting and, in some cases, incomprehensive behavior. In this study …

The study of particle packing models for binary mixtures is important in the field of granular
materials, from both theoretical and practical perspectives. A number of particle packing …

In this work we use DEM simulations to find the densest packing of frictionless spheres
subject to mechanical compression by changing systematically the grain size distribution …

By generalizing a geometric argument for frictionless spheres, a model is proposed for the
jamming density ϕ J of mechanically stable packings of bidisperse, frictional spheres. The …

This study explores the effects of the size ratio and fines content on the internal stability of
binary mixtures using the discrete element method. First, microscopic characteristics …
