CHARACTERIZATION OF MICRO-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF GRANULAR MATERIALS BASED ON THE USE OF 3D-T IMAGERY AND DISCRETE ELEMENT MODELING
(2012-05-07)This study analyzes the effects of varying conditions for the assessment of micro-parameters of granular materials based on both laboratory and numerical experiments. The aim is to investigate the effects of varying ... -
Examination of Granular Material Behavior in a Laminar-type Direct Simple Shear Device using Laboratory Validated Discrete Element Method Simulations
(2013-08-29)Simple shear testing is used to study a number of practical geotechnical problems including: soil conditions directly below a loaded surface, adjacent to a driven pile shaft, soils deposited on a slightly inclined slope, ... -
Modeling of Particle Media Using the Discrete Element Method (DEM)
(2019-08-07)Simulation of soil behaviors is always a challenge for engineers due to the non-homogeneous discontinuous nature of the materials. Unlike Finite Element Method (FEM) which follows the continuum approach, Discrete Element ...
