Electrochemical and mechanical properties of lithium‐ion battery materials are heavily
dependent on their 3D microstructure characteristics. A quantitative understanding of the …

As a consequence of increasing computer power and more readily useable commercial and
open source codes, Discrete Element Method (DEM) is becoming widely used across a …

The wear and corrosion issues commonly occurring in coal production and processing and
applications of advanced ceramics and coatings to combat these issues are reviewed. The …

This paper presents a validation procedure of multi-scale modelling scheme by making,
testing and modelling deformation and fracture of cement paste beam at sub-meso scale …

The graphite anode of commercial lithium-ion batteries is a typical granular material
embedded in a soft binder. To investigate its mechanical properties, a combined …

Excessive cracking can be a serious durability problem for reinforced concrete structures. In
recent years, addition of microencapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) to concrete …

A new DEM model for the simulation of concrete flow is presented. Fresh concrete is
described as an assembly of composite particles made of spherical hard grains representing …

Phenomenological plasticity models that relate relative density to plastic strain are frequently
used to simulate ceramic powder compaction. With respect to the form implemented in finite …

The aim of this paper is to investigate the fracture performance of cement paste at micro
scale by both experimental and numerical methods. Micro cubic specimens with length of …

The discrete element method (DEM) is used for predicting the compaction behavior of two
types of spray dried cemented carbide granules. The material model of the granules is …
