A virtual calibration chamber was built using a three-dimensional model based on the
discrete-element method. The chamber was then filled with a scaled granular equivalent of …

Using contact dynamics simulations, we compare the effect of rolling resistance at the
contacts in granular systems composed of disks with the effect of angularity in granular …

This paper presents a study on the simulation of cone penetration tests (CPTs) using the
discrete element model (DEM) method. This study's main objective is to investigate the effect …

A virtual calibration chamber was developed using a three-dimensional (3D) discrete
element method (DEM) to perform cone penetration tests (CPTs) on a discrete analogue of …

Discrete-element modelling of cone penetration testing (CPT) of granular materials in a
calibration chamber has been performed. It was established that simulating the entire …

Calibration and validation represent crucial but often-overlooked ingredients in the
successful application of discrete element method (DEM) simulations. Without rigorous …

Distinct Element (DEM) simulations are more and more used to solve selected real problems
involving granular materials, both in the geotechnical engineering and chemical …

Soil is a crucial resource for life on Earth. Every activity, whether natural or man-made, that
interacts with the sub or deep soil can affect the land at large scales (eg geological risks) …

This paper presents a two-dimensional particle flow code (PFC2D) model of the discrete
element method (DEM) that is used to study the effects of pile installation in deep foundation …

This paper uses the discrete element method (DEM) in three dimensions to simulate cone
penetration testing (CPT) of granular materials in a calibration chamber. Several …
