This study investigated the influence of stress levels on the mechanical behavior and
particle crushing of irregular granular materials. Granular materials with irregular sides were …

Most challenges during the development of solid dosage forms are related to the impact of
any variations in raw material properties, batch size, or equipment scales on the product …

The discrete element method (DEM) proposed by Cundall and Strack [1] is a widely used
numerical approach to study the fundamentals of particulate matter at the particle scale. In …

Agricultural materials breakage is quite common under high stress during harvesting,
transportation and processing. The breakage of particles occur in particle beds, and the …

A discrete numerical analysis of the yield and damage properties associated with a cohesive
granular system composed of ductile particles is hereby presented. Such a modelling …

The kinematics of polydisperse granular materials comprised of overlapping spheres is
carefully analysed. A single-particle strain estimate is developed that summaries the …

Particle breakage is a common phenomenon during the processes of production, storage,
and transportation. Because of the requirements for pellet integrity in poultry farming …

Multiple software frameworks based on the Discrete Element Method (DEM) are available
for simulating granular materials. All of them employ the same principles of explicit time …

Materials in a powder form are frequently used in various industries for the manufacturing of
commodity and high‐value products. To properly design the powder‐handling equipment …
