Run-of-mine ore is usually too large to be useful for construction or metallurgy. Large
particles must be reduced to specific sizes to either comply with aggregate sizing …

There are a sufficient number of works devoted to modeling crushing machines.
Nevertheless, the fact that there are a large number of working conditions, and the ongoing …

Abstract Description of particle breakage embedded in a simulation using the discrete
element method (DEM) qualifies it to describe processes in which breakage is either desired …

Highlights•A numerical method based on DEM and PRM is used to simulate rice grain

Granular breakage is a common phenomenon among rockfill dams, mineral engineering,
and geological phenomenon. In this work, we perform one-dimensional compression tests …

The fracture of rice grains and other cereals is a common phenomenon during various
processes such as seeding, harvesting, and processing. With the objective of elucidating the …

Several approaches have been proposed in the past to describe particle breakage inside
the DEM environment. The large number of particles dealt with in most operations of interest …

Until now computer simulation has already successfully assisted in improving the design
and operation of cone crushers in the mining and aggregate industries. However …
