Better discrete-element simulations through detailed finite-element contact modelling

University of Edinburgh School of Engineering

The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is increasingly used in industry and academia, to simulate particulate materials. DEM models individual particles, and thus requires efficient yet realistic calculation of inter-particle forces through an appropriate contact law. Read more
