Controlled release technology of chemical fertilizers is an important cornerstone for the
efficient development of sustainable agriculture. Damage to the coating layer and …

In this work, we proposed a numerical model based on the coupling of the volume of fluid–
discrete element method and bond particle method (BPM). The simulation of particle …

The crushing tool is the pivotal component of the medical waste treatment equipment and is
prone to wear and fracture. To improve its performance, the medical waste crushing process …

Suspension-colloidal-nano transport in porous media encompasses the detachment of
detrital fines against electrostatic attraction and authigenic fines by breakage, from the rock …

The powder mixing for foods is regarded to be unique because tons of products are
manufactured through powder mixing processes in food industries; hence there is no room …

Particulate materials exhibit rich dynamic behaviour and have been studied extensively in
the recent decades. Underpinning this behaviour are the interactions between particles …

Quasi-brittle fracture in geo-materials plays a crucial role in geotechnical engineering, and
numerical methods represent a valuable approach for modeling this complex problem. This …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the deformation behavior of non-spherical
particles during high-load compaction using the multi-contact discrete element method (MC …

Attrition and breakage of agglomerates are prevalent during production and handling
processes in many industries. Therefore, it is highly desirable to be able to model and …

Particle breakage has been investigated extensively in a variety of applications. The
Discrete Element Method (DEM) is commonly used to investigate breakage. However, it has …
