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 …

Bed load sediment transport, in which wind or water flowing over a bed of sediment causes
grains to roll or hop along the bed, is a critically important mechanism in contexts ranging …

We explore the effect of particle shape on the angle of repose (AoR) in granular packing
using a three-dimensional discrete element method. Non-spherical particles were modeled …

The discrete element method (DEM) is widely used in the realistic simulation of the shapes
of particles. Researchers have considered the simplification of particle shapes owing to the …

Abstract Rubber–soil mixtures (RSM), formed by mixing two types of granules with vastly
different mechanical properties, has the potential for serving as a cost-effective substitute for …

The mixture of soybean protein isolate-emulsified vitamin E emulsion and chitosan was
incubated at 50° C, 70° C, and 90° C for 12 h to check whether Maillard reaction could occur …

The morphologies of coarse particles are usually irregular and play a dominant role in the
mechanical behaviors of the particle assemblies. This paper quantitatively studies the effect …

Particle shape in granular materials exhibits both polydisperse and multi-level
characteristics, which are intrinsically linked to the mechanical behaviours of granular …

We investigate the effects of morphological features on the angle of repose (Φ) of granular
materials using a three-dimensional discrete element method (3D-DEM). A commercially …

We study the mechanics of standing columns formed during the repose of flexible granular
chains. It is one of the many intriguing behaviours exhibited by granular materials when links …
