TL;DR: In this paper, a new method of representing non-spherical, smooth-surfaced, axi-symmetrical particles in discrete element (DE) simulation using model particles comprising overlapping spheres of arbitrary size whose centres are fixed in position relative to each other along the major axis of symmetry of the particle is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of baking temperature and time on some physical properties of bread from composite flour made by mixing cassava and wheat flour at ratio of 10:90 (w/w) was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented basic DE modelling theories and theoretical solutions for the computation of the deformation of viscoelastic particulates under load, and incorporated these theories into the basic theory of the discrete element method to produce a new model suitable for investigating deformation and resulting shape change of particles during loading.

TL;DR: In this article, a simulation technique based on the discrete element method (DEM) has been applied to numerically model the bulk compression of beds of three oilseeds; canola, palm-kernel and soybean.

TL;DR: Moisture sorption isotherms of EX-BORNO and SOSAT C88 millets at temperature range of 30-70°C and water activity range of 0.07-0.98 were determined using the static gravimetric method as discussed by the authors.
