Description
The first single work on DEM providing the information to get started with this powerful numerical modelling approach. Provides the basic details of the numerical method and the approaches used to interpret the results of DEM simulations. It will be of use to professionals, researchers and higher level students, with a theoretical overview of DEM as well as practical guidance.Selected Contents: 1.Introduction 2.Use of DEM in Geomechanics 3.Calculation of Contact Forces 4.Particle Motion 5.Particle Types 6.Boundary Conditions 7.Initial Geometry and Specimen Generation 8.Time Integration and Discrete Element Modelling 9.DEM Interpretation: A Continuum Perspective 10.Postprocessing: Graphical Interpretation of DEM Simulations 11.Basic Statisti
Reviews / Votes
"This book is unique in the market, not only because it is the only introductory text of DEM written with so much practical advice for users, but also because of its unique attention to the audience in the area of geomechanics. ... An excellent reference textbook for a graduate course on DEM; it is also an excellent self-study reference for an individual graduate student or engineer who plans to carry out DEM."-- Helen Cheng, Geotechnique
"This volume on the theory and application of the particulate discrete element modeling approach is the first of its kind in the geomechanics community, and it represents a valuable and highly useable reference for a range of readers interested in numerical mechanical modeling."
