▪ Abstract The recent avalanche of research activity in the field of granular matter has yielded
much progress. The use of state-of-the-art (and other) computational and experimental …

Blending a mixture of powders to a homogeneous system is a crucial step in many
manufacturing processes. To achieve a high quality of the end product, powder mixtures …

Computer Simulations belong to the most important methods for the theoretical investigation
of granular materials. The present book is intended to serve as an introduction to the field …

This work discusses the current state of the art in the modeling of granular flows in mixing
processes. A quick review of both continuum-and discrete-based models is first presented …

ABSTRACT The use of Discrete Element Methods (DEM) to investigate mechanical
properties of geomaterials is growing fast and their applications in geotechnics have …

The goal of this article is to provide a somewhat critical introduction to the concept of
granular temperature and some of its applications. A brief history of the concept is followed …

The steady-state shear rheology of granular materials is investigated in slow quasistatic and
inertial flows. The effect of gravity (thus the local pressure) and the often-neglected contact …

Understanding particle attrition is vital to the optimisation of a wide range of industrial
processes. Lean phase pneumatic conveying is one such process, whereby the high energy …

Pneumatic conveying of fine powders is essential for many industrial processes, including
Laser Metal Deposition (LMD), a Direct Metal Additive Manufacturing (DMAM) technology …

Particulate products play a critical role in the manufacturing industry. The design of
particulate systems that meet key performance vectors to enable the production of the …
