TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a general overview of the application of computational techniques to the science of comminution, including simulation of fracture, breakage, crushing, milling and equipment wear.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of tests conducted with single pellets for estimating material and contact parameters that are required in DEM simulations using the no-slip Hertz-Mindlin model is analyzed.

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model of batch milling is presented to describe the breakage by impacts from grinding media producing catastrophic breakage, abrasion and weakening from repeated impacts.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanistic model of the ball mill has been proposed, and its application in the simulation of batch mills operating under a range conditions is described, and first-order breakage rates have been estimated using data from these simulations, and used to investigate the effect of operating and design variables in milling.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model for predicting breakage in monolayer unconfined particle beds with a combination of single-particle breakage data and functions that describe energy partition and volume of material captured in the bed was proposed.
