Revolutionizing granular matter simulations by high-performance ray tracing discrete element method for arbitrarily-shaped particles

Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2023
It remains a challenge for discrete element method to simulate large-scale systems with arbitrarily shaped particles. This paper presents a novel approach called Ray Tracing Discrete Element Method (RTDEM) to offer ultra-high efficiency in simulating ...

The combined plastic and discrete fracture deformation framework for finite‐discrete element methods

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 2019
The combined finite‐discrete element method (FDEM) was originally developed for fracture and fragmentation of brittle materials, more specifically for cementitious and rock‐like materials.

DISCRETE ELEMENT METHOD FOR MULTISCALE MODELING

Journal of Multiscale Modelling, 2010
A discrete element method (DEM) has been developed to provide highly accurate and detailed predictions of the Lagrangian particle phase. Especially in this study, DEM has been used together with an Eulerian approach for the fluid phase to look at interphase exchange phenomena in a multiphase-multiscale modeling approach.

Investigating the crack initiation and propagation mechanism in brittle rocks using grain-based finite-discrete element method

, 2020
Fracturing process and possible factors influencing crack initiation, propagation and coalescence of granitic rocks are investigated using a grain-based finite-discrete element method (GB-FDEM).

Modeling the interaction of soil and a vibrating subsoiler using the discrete element method

Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2020
A vibrating subsoiler can effectively reduce the draft force compared to a rigid one. Several theoretical and experimental methods have been developed to study the interaction of soil and vibrating tools, enabling the exploration of the mechanism of a ...

DISCRETE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

Engineering Computations, 1992
A numerical technique is described for the analysis of multiple interacting deformable bodies undergoing large displacements and rotations. Each body is considered an individual discrete unit, which is idealized by a finite element model. Discrete finite element models interact with their surroundings through contact stresses, which are continually ...

Discrete element method

Engineering Computations, 2004
Discrete element method (DEM) has been extensively used in the laboratory of particulate and multiphase processing at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) to study the fundamentals of particulate matter at a particle scale. This paper briefly reviews the work in the laboratory, which covers the development of simulation techniques and their ...

Evaluation of an FPGA Implementation of the Discrete Element Method

2001
The Distinct Element Method (DEM) is a numerical method for the simulation of the behaviour of media consisting of discrete particles, and is widely used for process optimisation in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The DEM is very computationally expensive, but has properties that make it amenable to acceleration by reconfigurable computing ...
