Simplified DEM-Based Modelling and Simulation of the Track Ballast
Buildings, 2023 This study proposes a rational method for modelling ballast in tracks based on the discrete element method (DEM) approach. To simulate a ballast consisting of a group of gravels, it is essential to use the discrete element method.

Capacity and power analysis on inclined screw conveyor using DEM simulation
JEMMME (Journal of Energy, Mechanical, Material, and Manufacturing Engineering), 2023 DEM is a method based on the theory of molecular dynamics that can simulate the movement of granular materials. One of the advantages of this method is it can simulate accurately without creating a real object.

Influence of muscle-tendon complex geometrical parameters on modeling passive stretch behavior with the Discrete Element Method [PDF]
, 2016 The muscle-tendon complex (MTC) is a multi-scale, anisotropic, non-homogeneous structure. It is composed of fascicles, gathered together in a conjunctive aponeurosis. Fibers are oriented into the MTC with a pennation angle. Many MTC models use the Finite

Discrete element method, a tool to investigate complex thermo mechanical behaviour: application to friction stir welding [PDF]
, 2009 In material forming or cutting, the contact zone between the tool and the working piece is often very difficult to analyse because of diverse local phenomena. In the special case of FSW, a specific difficulty is the study of material mixing. In this work,
