Coal deformation energy and gas expansion energy are the main power sources for coal
and gas outbursts (called outbursts for short). Although the combined effect hypothesis of the …

The abundance of granular materials and powders that are being used in several fields,
along with their broad applications, requires a comprehensive understanding of both their …

Amorphous alloys, also known as metallic glasses, exhibit many advanced mechanical,
physical, and chemical properties. Owing to the nonequilibrium nature, their energy states …

Dense granular flow is common in nature and industrial applications. A hallmark behaviour
of granular flow is the emergence of a critical state when sufficient strain is applied, which …

Granular flows are omnipresent in nature and industrial processes, but their rheological
properties such as apparent friction and packing fraction are still elusive when inertial …

Printable and stretchable conductors based on metallic‐filler‐reinforced polymer composites
that can maintain high electrical conductivity at large strains are essential for emerging …

With the development of experimental measurement technology and high-fidelity numerical
simulations of granular materials, empirical-based classical constitutive models may not be …

We propose an enhanced tool by combining X-ray micro-computed tomography test and
hybrid finite and discrete element method to investigate the mechanical behaviors of …

Since the mixed granular flows containing multiple non-spherical DEM models in complex
structures are still challenging for DEM applications, a unified method for creating level set …

The shear strength of granular materials has been found to increase nonlinearly with particle
asphericity before reaching a steady value independent of particle asphericity. Although the …
