Predicting the morphodynamics of sedimentary landscapes due to fluvial and aeolian flows
requires answering the following questions: Is the flow strong enough to initiate sediment …

There are several semi-empirical models available in literature that correlate the intrinsic
hardness of cemented carbides' constitutive phases and certain microstructural parameters …

This paper presents a micro-mechanical study on the characteristics of shear-induced
anisotropy in granular media. Based on three-dimensional Discrete Element Method (DEM) …

This report explores the effects of particle shape and content of fines on the shear behavior
of sand-fines mixtures using a two-dimensional discrete element method. The contributions …

Behaviour of granular soils subjected to internal erosion involves complex coupling between
solid–fluid interaction, skeleton deformation and microstructural evolutions. This paper …

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 …

Testing the mechanical response of coarse granular materials requires very large and
expensive laboratory equipments. During the 1960s, pioneering experimental programs …

The effect of particle-size distribution on the one-dimensional compressive behaviour of
granular soil materials was investigated using the discrete-element method (DEM), and the …

Geotechnical engineering practice commonly estimates the properties and behavior of well-
graded soils using methods and relationships developed based on the behavior of clean …

We present a numerical analysis of the effect of particle elongation on the quasistatic
behavior of sheared granular media by means of the contact dynamics method. The particle …
