A fundamental understanding of the underlying physics of granular (particulate) systems is
not only of academic interest, but is also highly relevant for industrial applications …

Understanding and modelling the dynamic behaviour of particulate systems has been a
major research focus worldwide for many years. Discrete particle simulation plays an …

Lithium-ion batteries will play a crucial role in the development of mobile consumer devices,
stationary energy storage systems, and electric mobility. The growth in these fields will bring …

This book is about the author's personal obsession with the complex behaviour of particle
systems. It is not intended as a textbook or a manual on how to do DEM simulations. It is …

Abstract Granular recycled Construction and Demolition (C&D) materials used in pavement
structures and embankments experience static and dynamic loading during their service life …

The discrete element method (DEM) is developed in this study as a general and robust
technique for unified two-dimensional modelling of the mechanical behaviour of solid and …

In recent years, there has been a rapid advancement in the understanding of tumbling mills
through computer simulation using the discrete element method (DEM). It has thus far been …

A single impact granule test has been used to study the breakage behaviour of granules.
The impact experiments are performed for three spherical granules (γ-Al2O3, synthetic …

The use of X-ray microtomographic (XMT) methods in analysing particulate systems has
expanded rapidly in recent years with the availability of affordable desk-top apparatus. This …

The study of breakage in granulation is important from a process and from a product quality
perspective. Breakage is considered an important rate process in granulation, and plays …
