Granular matter is ubiquitous in nature and is present in diverse forms in important
engineering, industrial and natural processes. Particle-based computational modelling has …

A fundamental understanding of the underlying physics of granular (particulate) systems is
not only of academic interest, but is also highly relevant for industrial applications …

Yade is an extensible open-source framework for discrete numerical models, focused on the
Discrete Element Method. The computation parts are written in c++ using a flexible object …

The discrete element method (DEM) has been confirmed as an effective numerical method
for modelling railway ballast, and successfully used to analyse a wide range of ballast …

A comprehensive comparison between the Hertz–Mindlin model and the linear spring model
in true triaxial shear simulations of granular soils was conducted using the discrete-element …

This paper presents a novel computational-geometry-based approach to generating random
packing of complex-shaped 3D particles with quantitatively controlled sizes and shapes for …

Abstract Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulation using a breakage model is applied to
study a broad range of existing compression based crushers to better understand machine …

This paper presents a novel open-source discrete element code, SudoDEM, for efficient
modeling of both 2D and 3D non-spherical particles under a GPL v3 or later license. Built …

This paper investigated the effect of the particle angularity in light of its importance in
angular particle assemblies, using the discrete element method (DEM). A discrete element …

Influence of particle angularity on the suffusion in gap-graded granular soils remains unclear
up to now. In this study, systematical numerical simulations that consider the particle shape …
