Journal ArticleDOI
Rheophysics of dense granular materials: Discrete simulation of plane shear flows
TL;DR: From those dilatancy and friction laws, the constitutive law for dense granular flows is deduced, with a plastic Coulomb term and a viscous Bagnold term, for the limit of rigid grains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of particle shape on breakage of recycled construction and demolition aggregates
TL;DR: In this paper, the importance and effects of particle shape on the degree of particle breakage was studied. And the results demonstrated that brittle C&D granular materials with higher degree of sphericity and lower flakiness index would show higher resistance to breakage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical techniques for fast generation of large discrete-element models
TL;DR: In recent years, civil engineers have started to use discrete-element modelling to simulate large-scale soil volumes thanks to technological improvements in both hardware and software.
Journal ArticleDOI
Periodic cells for large-scale problem initialization
TL;DR: In this article, a simple but efficient procedure to initialize large-scale discrete element method (DEM) models is presented, which is applicable to both isotropic and anisotropic initial stress states, with stress magnitude varying in space.
