Additive manufacturing (AM) is going through an exponential growth, due to its enormous
potential for rapid manufacturing of complex shapes. One of the manufacturing methods is …

The numerical effort of discrete element method (DEM) simulations results in a general
idealisation of DEM models that makes the calibration crucial to obtaining realistic …

Seeded granulation is one of the recently adopted wet granulation techniques. The seeded
granules consist of high-density core nuclei and low-density particles layered on the outside …

Additive Manufacturing (AM) using powder spreading requires uniform spreading. For
narrow spreader gaps, as commonly used, transient jamming and segregation could …

The computational cost of using discrete element method (DEM) simulations for particulate
processes with fine and cohesive particles is enormously large. To overcome this limitation …

Particle shape driven segregation in particulate mixtures has received limited attention in the
literature either experimentally or via simulation. This study investigates the shape driven …

The discrete element method (DEM) is a reliable tool for analyzing powder processes.
However, the DEM is problematic for fine particle simulations owing to its huge …
