Open AccessModelling the mechanical behaviour of clay using particle-scale simulations
This paper demonstrates the latest developments in particle-scale modelling of a clay. It shows that by creating an initial sample of platelets featuring aggregated stacks, excellent macroscopic behaviour is a...

Open AccessA new time-delayed periodic boundary condition for discrete element modelling of railway track under moving wheel loads
A new time-delayed periodic boundary condition (PBC) has been proposed for discrete element modelling (DEM) of periodic structures subject to moving loads such as railway track based on a box test which is nor...

Open AccessDiscrete element modelling of two-layered ballast in a box test
It has been recently reported that ballast comprising differently graded layers helps to reduce track settlement. The main goal of this paper is to provide micro mechanical insight about how the differently la...
