Abstract: The accuracy of particle shape characterization is the key to the study of particle dynamics. This study proposes two modeling methods, super-ellipsoid approach (SE) and multi-sphere ...

DEMLab is a MATLAB program for performing numerical simulations of particle systems using the Discrete Element Method (DEM). Its purpose is to offer a modular and extensible environment that allows ...

This is HiDEM, the Helsinki Discrete Element Model, a particle model for simulating elastic behaviour, fracture and calving at marine terminating glaciers. Due to its computational demands, this code ...

We are delighted to announce the 11th UK-China International Particle Technology Forum (PTF11), continuing a prestigious biennial series that began in Leeds, UK, in 2007. Established to bridge the ...

Granular materials-from soils to pharmaceutical powders-exhibit mechanical behavior governed by interaction between solid grains and interstitial fluids. Capillary forces critically control these ...

Abstract: Combining data-driven model and discrete element method (DEM), the long-short term memory (LSTM) method was developed for predicting the flow characteristics of the particle inside rotary ...

ABSTRACT: Discrete element modelling is commonly used for particle-scale modelling of granular or particulate materials. Developing a DEM model requires the determination of a number of ...

Therapeutic efficacy of drug carrying nanoparticles at the diseased/injured tissues is greatly influenced by geometric and biochemical properties of the particles, as well as biophysical properties of ...

The seepage failure induced by high water pressure along the fault structural plane is one of the main factors for the deformation and failure of underground caverns. Based on the pipe domain seepage ...

The energy dissipation usually occurs during rock failure, which can demonstrate the meso failure process of rock in a relatively accurate way. Based on the results of conventional triaxial ...
