Application of the Method of Peridynamics to the Simulation of Hydraulic Fracturing Process
Modeling hydraulic fracturing process is really challenging since it involves propagation of multiple or even massive cracks in a brittle solid where crack branching and interaction present. In general, tradit...

Study on Drag Force Coefficients in Modeling Granular Flows in a Slot-Rectangular Spouted Bed
Drag force coefficient is crucial for modelling gas-solid flows in using Discrete Element Method (DEM). Previous studies seldom concern about the mathematical properties of this coefficient, and just take it a...

DEM Simulation of Random Loose Packings of Micron-Sized Particles with Both Adhesion and Friction
Random loose packings of uniform spherical micron-sized particles are fully investigated by means of a 3D discrete-element method with adhesive contact mechanics. Characterized by a dimensionless adhesion para...
