The round robin test (the simultaneous analysis of the same problem) is a method to
investigate the variance and sensitivity of results provided by different analysts for a given …

We investigate the influence of particle angularity on the stress–strain behaviour, rotation
and micromechanics of granular assemblies under plane strain condition. Granular particles …

Studying the collective behavior of adhesive particles with the discrete element method
(DEM) requires well-founded force–displacement relations (force models). While the …

Challenges in current research on fine mesh wet screening (≥ 50 mesh) include
representing fine wire boundaries, contentious porous media handling, and low …

We perform a numerical simulation of compression of a highly porous dust aggregate of
monodisperse spheres. We find that the average interparticle normal force within the …

Understanding landslide hazards and developing mitigation measures is critical to
protecting lives and property. The Discrete Element Method (DEM) has demonstrated its …

Purpose To further understand the granular flow lubrication mechanism in metal contact
pairs, the effect of sliding-rolling ratio on the force chain properties was investigated …

Mixing process is widely used in industry to handle granular materials. The complex
granular dynamics in the mixing process has attracted great interests from a broad spectrum …

A penetration process into granular materials is common and of great interest both in nature
(eg root growth) and in engineering (eg the cone penetration test common in civil …

The discrete element method (DEM)[1] is widely recognized as a powerful tool for
investigating the complex dynamics of granular materials [2]. Most DEM simulations are built …
