Process simulation using mathematical modeling tools is becoming more common in the
pharmaceutical industry. A mechanistic model is a mathematical modeling tool that can …

This review aims to build a coherent picture of the problem of powder spreading and
spreadability in metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) because of its impact on ensuring highly …

The discrete element method (DEM) is a numerical tool used for the modelling of granular
materials. However, accurate predictions of material behaviour can only be made if the input …

Abstract The Discrete Element Method (DEM) offers great potential as a design tool for the
bulk simulation of cohesive systems. However, DEM simulations may require simplified …

To build a widely applicable modelling method for maize seed particles, nine major maize
varieties in mainland China are analysed. According to the analysis, maize seed particles …

Granular materials are abundant in nature, and in most industries, either the initial
constituents or final products are in granular form during a production or processing stage …

The discrete element method and simulation analysis of the interaction between granular
materials and implements provide a convenient and effective method for the optimal design …

Bed permeability is a crucial factor in blast furnace efficiency and stability. The Discrete
Element Method (DEM) has been used extensively to model material flow in different parts of …

This paper's goal was to select methods and a calibration procedure which would lead to the
determination of relevant parameters of a discrete element method (DEM) and virtual …

The numerical complexity of Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations generally forces
an idealisation of DEM models, making the calibration process the key to realistic simulation …
