A fundamental understanding of the underlying physics of granular (particulate) systems is
not only of academic interest, but is also highly relevant for industrial applications …

In agricultural machinery design and optimization, the discrete element method (DEM) has
played a major role due to its ability to speed up the design and manufacturing process by …

The numerical effort of computer simulations based on the Discrete Element Method (DEM)
forces an idealisation of the DEM models especially when industrial problems are analysed …

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 …

Electrode microstructure can profoundly affect the performance of lithium-ion batteries. In
this work, the effect of the calendering process on electrode microstructures is investigated …

One of the major shortcomings of discrete element modelling (DEM) is the computational
cost required when the number of particles is huge, especially for fine powders and/or …

Granular soils are abundant in nature and extensively used for engineering purposes.
Understanding the correlation between particle breakage and its mechanical response of …

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) has shown considerable advantages for the simulation
