New crushing criterion invariant to the coordination number effect in discrete element modelling
The discrete element method (DEM) is used widely to study the crushing behaviour of granular materials from a microscale perspective. However, a crushing criterion that can be suitable for triggering particle ...

Effects of angularity and content of coarse particles on the mechanical behaviour of granular mixtures: a DEM study
This paper studies the effects of angularity and coarse particle content on the shear behaviour of granular mixtures via the discrete element method. The contributions of different contact types to the shear s...
