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

In order to clarify the micro‐mechanics of clay during compression, the behavior of clay
subjected to one‐dimensional compression is investigated at the particle scale using …

Particulate systems are of interest in many disciplines. They are often investigated using the
discrete element method because of its capability to investigate particulate systems at the …

Powder spreading process is to use a spreader such as blade or roller to spread powder
layers for subsequent fusion in powder bed fusion additive manufacturing. In this work, the …

The thin layer of soil at the earth's surface supports life, storing water and nutrients for plant
uptake. These processes occur in the soil pore space, often half the soil volume, but our …

A desire to optimise the production and performance of nanoparticle structured materials
has driven the development of increasingly accurate and fundamental models that describe …

The correct calculation of cell void fraction is pivotal in accurate simulation of two‐phase
flows using a computational fluid dynamics‐discrete element method (CFD‐DEM) approach …

This paper presents a review of the literature describing the packing structure and effective
thermal conductivity of randomly packed beds consisting of mono-sized particles. In this …

The objective of this review paper is to summarize the current status and identify the
knowledge gaps in ceramic binder jetting additive manufacturing, with a particular focus on …
