This review aims to build a coherent picture of the problem of powder spreading and
spreadability in metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) because of its impact on ensuring highly …

Granular materials are abundant in nature, and in most industries, either the initial
constituents or final products are in granular form during a production or processing stage …

The discrete element method (DEM) is a numerical tool used for the modelling of granular
materials. However, accurate predictions of material behaviour can only be made if the input …

Bed permeability is a crucial factor in blast furnace efficiency and stability. The Discrete
Element Method (DEM) has been used extensively to model material flow in different parts of …

This paper's goal was to select methods and a calibration procedure which would lead to the
determination of relevant parameters of a discrete element method (DEM) and virtual …

As far as the calibration of bulk material for DEM simulations is concerned, it is necessary to
adjust the properties of simulated bulk material until the behaviour of this digitally modelled …

Numerical analysis via the DEM has been applied to various powder processes. To obtain
simulation results of high reliability, a calibration method for the input DEM parameters must …

This study proposes an automated calibration procedure for bond parameters in bonded
discrete element modelling. By exploring the underlying physical correlations between …

Powder mixing is a vital operation in a wide range of industries, such as food,
pharmaceutical, and cosmetics. Despite the common use of mixing systems in various …

The assessment of flow characteristics and the Discrete Element Method (DEM) calibrations
for Wet and Sticky Materials (WSMs) are significantly demanded by the mining and …
