discrete element method

Typical integration methods used in a discrete element method are:

It provides advantages both of classical cellular automaton and discrete element methods.

There are two methods to model particle breakage: population balance model and discrete element method.

They are widely used in molecular dynamics, discrete element methods, accelerator physics, and celestial mechanics.

Discrete element methods are relatively computationally intensive, which limits either the length of a simulation or the number of particles.

Discrete element method is very effective to simulate granular materials, but mutual forces among movable cellular automata provides simulating solids behavior.

Discrete element method (DEM) is an explicit numerical model capable of tracking the motion and interaction of individual modeled particles.

Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA) is a type of discrete element method originally proposed by Shi in 1988.

The analysis of particle dampers is mainly conducted by experimental testing, simulations by discrete element method or finite element method, and by analytical calculations.

The 1st, 2nd and 3rd International Conferences on Discrete Element Methods have been a common point for researchers to publish advances in the method and its applications.

The discrete element method makes use of particle mechanics, whereby individual particles are modeled with 6-degrees of freedom dynamics and their interactions result in the amount of energy absorbed/dissipated.

AEM combines features of Finite element method and Discrete element method simulation with its own solver capabilities for the generation of PC-based structural analysis.

While such information is difficult to obtain from experiments, numerical modelling based on discrete element method (DEM) can readily determine the energy distribution based on the well established contact mechanics.

Discrete element method or discrete element modeling, a family of numerical methods for computing the motion of a large number of small particles (like molecules or grains of sand)

ESyS-Particle ESyS-Particle is a high-performance computing implementation of the Discrete Element Method released under the Open Software License v3.0.

The Applied Element Method, or AEM combines features of both FEM and Discrete element method, or (DEM).

It has seen a mayor development in last two decades and describes motion of the solid phase by the Discrete Element Method (DEM) on an individual particle scale and the remaining phases are treated by the Navier-Stokes equations.

While the discrete element method predicts position and orientation in space and time for each particle, the extended discrete element method additionally estimates properties such as internal temperature and/or species distribution or mechanical impact with structures.
