The effects of interstitial gas on the spreadability of Inconel 718 powder under conditions
relevant to powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing (PBF-AM) are investigated through …

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 …

Abstract The Discrete Element Method (DEM) has the prospect of accurately modelling the
bulk flows of cohesive materials if the cohesive input parameters are reliably calibrated …

In recent years, there has been increased focus on the calibration of discrete element
method (DEM) models to gain improved confidence in the simulation predictions. However …
