Discrete element method approach to modelling VPP dampers
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 In this paper, we present a novel approach to modeling and analysis of Vacuum Packed Particle dampers (VPP dampers) with the use of Discrete Element Method (DEM). VPP dampers are composed of loose granular medium encapsulated in a hermetic envelope, with

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020 A brief literature review of numerical studies on excavation damage zone (EDZ) is conducted to compare the main numerical methods on EDZ studies. A hybrid finite-discrete element method is then proposed to model the EDZ induced by blasts.

Track ballast modelling by discrete element method
Građevinar, 2019 An increase in axle load and travel speed causes faster degradation of track structure and, hence, of the ballast prism. Crushing of stone grains in ballast due to excessive contact forces among these grains causes degradation in the form of filling of ...

From discrete particles to solids – about sintering and self-healing [PDF]
Computer Methods in Materials Science, 2011 In this review, particulate materials are studied using the Discrete Element Method (DEM), where the particles keep their identity throughout. Loose particles can sinter due to time-, stress- or temperature-dependent forces.

Slope Failure of Noncohesive Media Modelled with the Combined Finite–Discrete Element Method
Applied Sciences, 2019 Slope failure behaviour of noncohesive media with the consideration of gravity and ground excitations is examined using the two-dimensional combined finite⁻discrete element method (FDEM).

Finite element method–discrete element method bridging coupling for the modeling of gouge
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 2022 AbstractWe discuss the multiscale modeling of a granular material trapped between continuum elastic domains. The amorphous granular region, usually termed “gouge,” is under high confinement pressure, to represent the loading of faults at depth. We model the granularity of gouge using the discrete element method (DEM), while the elastic regions ...
